Passing the Torch
We (Cynthia Surprise
and Kris Bean) have been co-editors of the
Monday Morning Memo since February 2012. We have thoroughly
enjoyed performing this important role in our community, but
the time has come to move on with our lives and turn the
publication over to a new editor. We are pleased to announce
that beginning with the next issue Judy Hayes
will be the editor, and she will be looking for a
co-editor. We know the MMM will be in good hands and wish
her well. If you have a submission, you can contact Judy at
judy.hayes@comcast.net or 720-201-9260.
The
Times They Are A-Changin'
After 7 years of dedicated service to our HOA,
Dean Hess has stepped
down as director of Common Area Maintenance. We appreciate
everything Dean has done for our community. Cyndie Alto
has volunteered to fill that role.
Jim Copeland has resigned as head of the EE
Gardeners. Thanks to Jim for leading the group in making so
many beautiful changes to EE.
Rod Harp will now be in charge of the Gardeners.
No Movie Night This Week
There will be no movie this Wednesday in order to prepare
for Thanksgiving. The movies will resume next week with the
1967 film The Graduate starring Dustin Hoffman.
(Remember Mrs. Robinson?) Thanks to Jane and Eric
Ellingson for sponsoring this popular event.
