Easter Egg Hunt:
The egg hunt is for ages pre-K through to the 8th grade. Due to circumstances in prior years, adults will no longer be able to hunt eggs. The egg hunt will begin promptly at 10 am sharp. ONLY kids will be permitted on the egg hunting grounds. Adults may not help kids pick up eggs. Adults may point and encourage from the sidelines only. There is not a rain/snow date for this event. Donations (both non-perishable prizes and monetary donations) gladly accepted for the following year's egg hunt at this time. Generally there is a Easter Basket and/or large prize raffle. Cash only accepted. Volunteers to help hide eggs, ensure rules are being followed and to hand out prizes at the prize tables are always needed. Please contact Kristin (610-248-2843) or Shirley (610-248-3647) if you would like to volunteer. We will have a brief meeting for the volunteers on the evening before the egg hunt (Good Friday) to go over what is needed and expectations.
Plant and Bake Sale:
Selling your extra seedlings or spring divisions is a great way to make some extra cash. We are also interested in vendors selling garden crafts, soaps, etc.! Set-up is the day before (Friday) from 2:00 to 7:00 pm. You can drop off your inventory/donations at this time. We encourage plant vendors to be present the day of the sale, but it is not mandatory to be there. For plants, you may set up the day before or morning of and then come back after the sale to pick up your leftovers. For plants, this is a one cash-out event and Passer keeps a percentage of your sales (see below). For crafters, we will have a separate buy here/pay here location -- crafters are expected to be there the day of the sale and will cash out their items -- a percentage will not be kept by Passer, but there will be a fee for each 10x10 section used.
If you decide to drop off plants as a donation and place them on the steps, please make sure to label what the plants are.
If you plan on selling your plants for a profit, please bring all plants to the set-up the day before (2:00-7:00) or the morning of (starting 6:30-8:30; all cars must be out of plant sale area by 8:00 and finished setting up by 8:30). You need two (2) labels in each plant -- One label should include the plant name (popular name is fine) and growing conditions required (if you know). The second label should include your initials and your asking price so we can tally your profits. Please make sure the label/tag with your initials and price is easily discernible, easily readable, and large for our cashiers. All labels/tags must be conspicuous (large and/or colorful) as it is difficult to see labels/tags at checkout. If labels are too difficult to see, we cannot be responsible for any missed labels/tags. The community center only keeps 17% of the sales that will go towards the maintenance and renovation of the building (we are non-profit, and your 17% donation can be tax deductible). The rest is yours to keep, or to spend on more plants (of which I am guilty of every single year!). Within 1-2 weeks after the event, you will be mailed a list of your total sales and a check for your sales minus 17%.
There will be a bake sale table in the kitchen area. We need donations of all types of baked goods. Call/text Kristin (610-248-2843) if you have baked goods to donate. All baked goods can be dropped off the day before the sale (Friday) 2:00-7:00.
The kitchen will also be open selling their wares and their famous SOUP (available by the bowl or quart jar)! We sell out of soups FAST!

Autumn Plant Exchange (TBD):
Possibly being organized by the Coopersburg Garden Club.
Autumn is a great time of year to divide your perennials and come out and join us for our 1st annual plant exchange for all you plant-addicts out there. Bring a plant, get a plant... bring two plants, get two plants... bring ten plants, get ten plants. A great way to share your prized plants with those in the community, and then to take something a little different home to add to the "family". This event is not scheduled yet. Please email me (kristin@passercommunity.org) if you are interested in participating in an autumn plant exchange.
Thanksgiving Dinner (not having 2026):
We supply the turkey, ham, stuffing, and beverages. You supply a covered dish or dishes and/or dessert(s). No one leaves hungry! You may pack one (1) plate per person to take home as leftovers, and, of course you may take home anything leftover from your covered dish (sorry for this rule, but things have gotten carried away in the past). You must RSVP to Shirley at 610-346-7401 if you plan to attend as this event gets larger and larger each year. Bring games to play after dinner. Pictionary (guys against the girls) usually begins around 6-7 pm.
Christmas Covered Dish (not having 2026):
Time to celebrate the season with the community. Bring a covered dish and dessert. Beverages supplied. After our pot-luck supper, perhaps we could break into some traditional Christmas caroling -- who knows.
