Southampton will hold its 2nd Annual Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday March 29th at 10:00 a.m. Flyer with details is attached. We hope to see you there!Upon further inquiry, the management agent responded:
The subject and body of the email were an inadvertent error on our part. You will note that the official flyer makes no reference of Easter.We know of only two types of egg hunts: Easter egg hunts, and egg hunts conducted for profit or by hobbyists.
Easter Sunday celebrates the Christian belief of Jesus Christ's resurrection. The Easter date is set around the time of the March Equinox.
So when is an Easter egg hunt not an Easter egg hunt? When the Southampton condominium board says so.
We're not sure if the bylaws permit expenditure of condominium funds for an egg hunt of any kind.
We're also not sure if non-Christian residents of Southampton are buying this argument, and whether or not the Southampton "egg hunt" constitutes unlawful discrimination.
Perhaps an interfaith committee should be setup to make recommendations for the funding of religious observances.
