As Easter approaches, residents at ClarkLindsey in Urbana enjoyed a light‑hearted event that brought laughter, friendly guessing, and a chance to connect. The leadership team dove—quite literally—into a pool full of plastic eggs while residents tried to predict the total number floating around. The gathering offered a playful way to strengthen relationships across the community.
What Happened
In the spirit of spring celebrations, ClarkLindsey hosted an egg‑themed activity that blended creativity with community building. Members of the leadership team jumped into the campus pool to scoop up as many plastic eggs as they could, turning an ordinary swim into an Easter‑inspired spectacle.
Residents gathered poolside, cheering them on and making their best guesses about how many eggs filled the water. The person who came closest won a prize, but the focus of the event was less about competition and more about sharing a moment of fun together.
The activity encouraged staff and residents to interact in a relaxed, informal environment—something ClarkLindsey values as part of its culture of connection.
