Esperanza Estates Park Progress
There's been a flurry of activity at EE Park
recently as the Gardeners have planted shrubs and perennials to
complement the new pine trees. Plants include Texas rangers, emu
bush ('Valentine'), Mexican honeysuckle, and autumn sage (salvia
greggii). Thanks to Al
Arendt, Bill Berdine, Roberta Bower, Dick Carver, Jim Copeland,
Hugh Gates, Kathy Konrad, and Bill Pratt, who spent
several hours installing the plants. This week, 3/8" brown gravel
will be spread around the area. Jim Copeland has
volunteered to water the plants until he leaves for the summer,
when other volunteers will take on that important task. Stop by
to see this amazing transformation. |
A Monumental Idea
The Board has given the go-ahead to develop
plans to construct an entrance monument near the flags at
Esperanza Estates Park. Jim
Copeland is
working on a design for the area, which will incorporate the
ceramic Arizona flag into the monument and include benches where
you can sit and gaze out at the mountains. Jim will hold a
meeting at the Ramada on Wednesday, March
2 at 1:00 p.m. to
discuss the plans. All residents are invited to attend or to
e-mail comments, ideas or suggestions to Jim at
jlbrcopeland@aol.com. The project is being funded entirely by
the Enhancement Team and the EE Artisans.

Book Exchange
If you have been thinking about looking for some reading
material from the Book Exchange cabinet in the pool area,
now is the time to do so. On March 1, Cindy
Krantz will
be weeding out books that have been in the cabinet for
several months to donate to the Enhancement Team's Ramada
Sale on March 5.

Snakes Are Waking Up
With the warmer weather, more of us are out walking and
working around our yards. It's always a good idea to keep
an eye on the ground when walking, and to check for snakes
before putting your hand in any covered area. Shaking a bush
with a rake is a good way to roust out anything napping
underneath. If a snake appears on your property, you can
call the GV fire department for snake relocation.

Coffee with a Cop
Thanks to Deputy Bill Nunez of the Pima County Sheriff's
Department who stopped by to chat with residents at the
recent Coffee and Donuts. Deputy Nunez strongly encouraged
residents to lock their doors and cars. He also recommended
being suspicious of phone calls claiming to be from
businesses you have a relationship with, such as banks,
credit card companies and insurance companies. Tell them you
will call them back when it's convenient, hang up, then call
a customer service number that appears on one of your recent
bills from that company. |
Attention Neighborhood Watch Block Captains
From Mary Beth Wallace: "This would be a good time to visit
all the residents in your zone. Winter residents are here
and could have some changes. Most frequent items that need
to be updated are: key holders and their phone numbers,
emergency contacts, summer contact phone numbers for winter
residents, number of residents and pets in the home, changes
in local phone or cell phone numbers, whether a resident is
using oxygen, wheelchair or other assistive devices and
whether the residents are receiving professional home
care. I would like to have all your updates ASAP so I can
have new zone sheets printed. Thanks for your cooperation." |
