The New Melle Chamber of Commerce is gearing up for one of our most beloved community traditions , the Annual Easter Egg Hunt , and we need volunteers to help make the event a success.

This fun, family-friendly event brings together local families, children, businesses, and community members for a morning full of excitement. From organizing prizes to helping manage the hunt itself, volunteers play a huge role in making the day run smoothly.

Volunteers are needed to help:

These preparation tasks help ensure everything is ready for the big day.
