Attention New Residents
The EE Bienvenidos Committee will hold its annual
reception for new residents on Wednesday, March
27, at 4:00 PM at the Ramada.
If you are new to
EE and plan to attend, please RSVP today to Barb
McCalpin at 520-867-8067 if
you have not already done so.
Movie Night
This week's movie on Wednesday at 7:00 PM at
the Ramada is Dave starring
Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. To
avoid a potentially explosive scandal when the U.S.
President goes into a coma, an affable temp agency owner
with an uncanny resemblance is put in his place.
Thanks to Jane & Eric Ellingson for sponsoring this event.
Volunteers Needed
Eric Ellingson and Bob
Winterland have stepped down from their
positions as Neighborhood Relations and Green Valley
Council Rep, respectively. The Board
would like to express its appreciation to them for
their past work on behalf of EE. The Board is now
looking for neighbors interested in filling these
important shoes.
Neighborhood Relations responsibilities are to help
neighbors sort out differences that may arise
between them. This is a much-appreciated position
that has gone a long way over the years to keep EE
the friendly community that it is.
The GVC Representative will attend the monthly GVC
meetings and report at HOA Board meetings on the
results of any actions taken or new ideas on the
horizon. It does not involve other GVC committee
responsibilities unless the rep is interested in
assuming them.
If you are interested in either of these
opportunities, please call Dave Sielken at
908-346-1760 or email him at
dwsielken@gmail.com.
News from the EE Gardeners
There will be an EE Gardeners work session on Wednesday
starting at 9:00. They will be planting
agaves in the area south of Circulo del Sur. The
plantings will be the start of the Calle Agaves in
the waste area south of the house on del Sur. Bring
rakes and gloves. Everyone is invited to help with
this project. Meet at Mesquite Park (located
between Camino Holgado and Circulo del Sur). Mesquite
Park has now gone through a makeover with new
plantings, tree trimming and a new pad for the table
and benches. Take some time to walk through the park
in the next two weeks as the mesquites will be in
bloom. Thanks to everyone who helped with the work
there and especially to Jane
and Eric Ellingson who
donated the table and benches.
Thanks, Charlie
Kudos to Charlie Bonham, a handy
guy who knows his way around a welding gun. He recently
helped the HOA by attaching wheels to the new heaters at
the Ramada.
Hospitality
Thanks to the EE Hospitality Committee for another
wonderful social event last week.
Thanks also to the
residents who brought their family favorite dish to share.
Mark your calendars now for the next Hospitality event
on April 11. Burgers and brats are on
the menu.
Green Valley Directories
The 2019 edition of this community reference is now
available to all residents. Copies are free for the
taking and can be found on the counter at the
Ramada. If for some reason there are none in sight,
call Dave Sielken at 908-346-1760 --
he has plenty!
Have a Suggestion?
There are a lot of good ideas out there for
improving our HOA. If you have a suggestion, don't keep
it to yourself. To bring it to the Board's attention,
you can put it in the suggestion box on the wall of the
Ramada kitchen.
Pickleball Court Renovation Update
Thanks to Greg Gramstad and
his team of very hard working volunteers, the old court
has been removed and the oleanders have been trimmed.
The old court was donated to a school in Tucson. The
current schedule for renovations is as follows (nearby
neighbors may want to pay particular attention):
Week 1 (April 2-8):
Prep court for concrete pour - prepare surface, set
forms, install cabling. (A dumpster may be on site for
one or two days.)
Week 2 (April 9-15):
Pour concrete in the early morning.
Weeks 3, 4, 5 & 6 (April 16-May 13):
Prep surface for coating, roll down chain link fencing,
and cut and knuckle to new elevation, other misc. chores.
Week 7 or 8 (May 14-28):
Coat and stripe surface for 4 pickleball courts.

Attention Grandparents -- Pool Hours and Rules
A reminder that the hours children can use the pool
are 11:00 - 1:00 and 4:00 - 6:00. Also,
all guests using the EE recreational facilities should
be accompanied by a resident.
Happy Hour Date Change
For many years the local Blind Golfers group has met
at the Ramada to celebrate their accomplishments. In
order to allow them to keep to their regular schedule,
Happy Hour will be held on Thursday,
April 4 rather than on Friday.
Happy Hour Dates
Happy Hour at the Ramada will start at 4:00
PM on Thursday, April 4 and
the following Fridays: April 19, May 3,
May 17, May 31. Bring your own beverage, glasses,
utensils, and an appetizer to share.
Neighborhood Watch Alert
Taxpayers should be aware of fraud during tax
season, according to the Arizona Department of Revenue
(ADR). Most tax preparers are qualified professionals,
but some have attempted to submit fraudulent returns or
promise larger refunds by making fraudulent changes to
tax returns.
This year has seen an increase in the number of
fraudulent tax preparers. Make sure to do your research
before hiring a tax preparer.
In Memoriam
We sadly report that Joe McMahon (Calle
del Regalo) passed away on March 18. Our condolences to
his family and friends.
Monday Morning Memo Submission Deadline
Have an EE organization item that needs to appear in the
next MMM? Please submit your information by Friday
evening. You don't need to write the article,
just give us the facts. If an urgent, last-minute
situation arises after the deadline, please call to let
us know you're sending information.
