Happy Easter

Dear HUPE colleagues and friends,

Spring has sprung, and with it comes the joy of Easter—a time to slow down, count our blessings, and fill our hearts with hope (and maybe a little chocolate too!). 🐰💐

"Easter is the only time when it's perfectly safe to put all your eggs in one basket." – Evan Esar

So go ahead—gather your joys, your loved ones, and a few sweet treats. May this season bring you renewal, laughter, and moments that matter.

Wishing you and your families a bright and beautiful Easter!

With festive cheer,

Your HUPE team 🌸🐣🌞

Happy easter
