On Saturday, April 19th, 2025, the Skyline Hills Recreation Center transformed into a joyful springtime celebration as the Skyline Hills community partnered with the San Diego Social Club Syndicate to host a vibrant Easter Egg Hunt for local families. The event brought together children, parents, and community leaders for a day filled with fun, generosity, and unity. The morning kicked off with a “first come, first served” giveaway of colorful Easter baskets, lighting up the faces of hundreds of children who arrived eager to join in the hunt and festivities.
Adding flavor to the day was the popular Chicken Shack food truck, owned and operated by local entrepreneur D-Shack. The truck generously served free chicken and fries to the first 200 kids, bringing both nourishment and excitement to the celebration. To cool off from the springtime sun, snow cones were also handed out—another hit with the younger crowd. It was a moment that perfectly blended community support with family fun, made possible by the hard work and collaboration of local organizations and volunteers.
The event was not just about eggs and candy; it was about connection and care. Fetish, President of Lady Dragonfly’s Social Club, reflected on the deeper meaning of the day. “We got the community. We’re blessed to be able to provide it, so we want to make sure that we do that,” she said with heartfelt sincerity. She summed up the spirit of the event in one powerful word: “Love. Because we’re giving love back by giving. It’s love to be able to spread our love and our very donations to everyone also.”
From the smiles of the children to the heartfelt words of the community leaders, the Easter Egg Hunt at Skyline Hills Rec Center was more than just a holiday tradition—it was a celebration of community, compassion, and collective care that will be remembered for years to come.
