It seems like everyone’s calendars get crazier than usual when spring rolls around, and this April at Collingwood Apartment Homes in Alpharetta, Georgia, is no exception! Easter, the Masters Tournament at Augusta National, National Library Week, RPM Careers Week—there’s something for almost everybody to celebrate and appreciate!
Let’s Hop Right Into Easter
Mark your calendars now for Collingwood Apartment Homes’ Easter Egg Hunt Saturday, April 19, starting at 5 p.m. at the picnic area! (Important Note: Everyone is asked to arrive at a little early for instructions.) We can’t wait to see all our Collingwood kiddos have a good time with this!
Another “eggcellent” way to celebrate will be to take your little bunnies to the Hop-A-Long Egg Hunt at Avalon Saturday, April 19. The Easter Bunny is coordinating two separate hunts for this event to make sure everyone can safely join in the fun that day.
These activities are taking place before the actual holiday because it’s late this year—Sunday, April 20, 2025 (Passover begins Saturday, April 12). Which gives you plenty of time to lay in supplies and have the fun of making your own charcuterie Easter basket! If you’re not feeling particularly creative, * The Idea Specialists™ * recommend a quick google search for the kind of goodies you want to share with family and friends. They found lots great boxes and baskets at Harry & David, as well as full holiday dinners! Locally, Sensational Baskets on Holcomb Bridge Road is an excellent option.
Our Local Library
This year’s theme for National Library Week April 6-12 is “Drawn to the Library,” and that’s because libraries have something that draws everyone in: books, magazines, computer stations, story time for kids, DVDS, online resources, and more. If you haven’t visited it lately, commemorate the week by checking out the Alpharetta Branch of the Fulton County Library System to see what all they have to offer.
Teed Up Next—The Masters
It just wouldn’t be spring in Georgia without the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club, now would it?
If you’re lucky enough to have the chance to attend—even if only for a practice round—take it! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Most of us, though, will get to enjoy the lovely azaleas and admire the prowess of professional athletes like betting favorites Rory McIllroy and Scottie Scheffler from the comfort of our Collingwood Apartment Homes living rooms. Here’s the guide for watching at home.
We asked The Idea Specialists™ for some suggestions on how to through a Masters party, and of course they came through!
Egg salad sandwiches, pimento sandwiches, and Mini MoonPies are musts!!
Don’t have time to make your own sammies in your custom-appointed kitchen? Not to worry—you can feast on tradition with the Taste of the Masters hosting kit! The world-famous classic concessions items, including pork bar-b-que, are delivered to your door, enabling you to recreate the patron experience. Another way to do that is to make an Azalea Cocktail, the beloved drink of golfers and fans alike. (Pro Tip: This pretty pink concoction goes well with most Easter menus, too!)
RPM Careers Week
Our final focus for this month’s blog is Residential Property Management (RPM) Careers Week April 14-18, 2025, because where we would be without the people who make it so easy to call our beautiful luxury apartment community home? Support services teams, maintenance/service professionals, suppliers, and leadership—everyone works together, and we’re especially fortunate because they all have a good time at the same time!
Residential property management offers career opportunities for passionate, creative, and driven people from all walks of life, professional levels, and skillsets. Check out the National Apartment Association site for more info.
Stop in any time to help us celebrate!
