Make spring cleaning egg-citing

An Easter egg hunt for cash- and candy-filled eggs makes spring cleaning fun for the team at the Maul Road Animal Clinic in Camden, Ark.

An Easter egg hunt for cash- and candy-filled eggs makes spring cleaning fun for the team at the Maul Road Animal Clinic in Camden, Ark. The secret to getting those once-a-year chores checked off the to-do list? A slip of paper with a cleaning task on it is tucked inside the eggs—along with cash—before they're hidden throughout the clinic.

This helps the team at Maul Road Animal Clinic accomplish several things, according to Sally deFrance, office manager:

  • The whole team chips in to get cleaning done, which boosts morale and team spirit.

  • It's fun. "Some of us never grow up," she says.

  • And, of course, the surprise cash makes everybody's day.
