To honor eating club staff, the Inter-Club Council is sponsoring an Easter egg hunt for children of club employees Saturday afternoon on the front lawn of Colonial Club.
ICC president Cindy Drakeman '02 said the event, which will also feature mimes, was planned to honor the staff for their hard work and "to give back to them for the help they give us."
"They just sort of take care of us," she explained.
Inter-Club Adviser Alice Teti '00 said in an e-mail, "We thought that this was also a good opportunity to do something nice for the families of the staff members of the clubs, who go above and beyond on a regular basis, and many of whom have great relationships with the club members and officers."
"Therefore, the clubs have invited all of their staff members to bring their kids and participate, and the event has been set up at a time when weekend workers can also join us for the afternoon," she added.
Terrace Club president Clay Whitehead '02 said in an e-mail, "Many clubs have participated in community service and outreach activities in the past, but this is our first such activity as an entire 'Street.' "
"There is a real belief among this year's club officers and membership that the 'Street' should be a positive force in Princeton's community," he explained.
Drakeman said her club, Tower, is planning to establish a tutoring program for children of staff members to show appreciation that goes beyond Christmas gifts and Easter egg hunts.
The efforts are not related to the workers' rights movement on campus, she said.
