Wednesday Movie
This week's movie is Death at a Funeral. A funeral turns
into a debacle of exposed family secrets and misplaced
bodies. It's a comedy. Showtime is 7:00
p.m. at
the Ramada. Thanks to Jane
and Eric Ellingson for
sponsoring this popular event.
Dedication
All EE residents are invited to attend the dedication of
the new monument in Flag/EE Park (corner of Esperanza
Blvd and Camino Holgado) on Thursday,
April 27th at 4:30.
Please bring some snacks to accompany the beverages Jim
Copeland will
provide.
Hospitality Continues This Summer
Our social events will continue throughout the summer
thanks to new leader Nancy
Ferguson and
her dedicated team of year-round committee members. New
members are always welcome to join. The first event will
be a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta on May
5 starting
at the usual time of 4:30 with food served at 5:00 at
the Ramada. This is a potluck and the Hospitality
Committee will furnish dessert, margaritas, beer and
wine. Since this is a Mexican fiesta, we encourage
everyone to dress the part. For fun, there will be a
couple of pinatas filled with goodies.
Book Discussion Group
The EE Book Discussion Group will meet Tuesday,
May 2 at 11:00 a.m. at
the Ramada to discuss THIS
HOUSE OF SKY: Landscapes of a Western Mind by
Ivan Doig. The author is considered the premier writer
of the American West. All are welcome!
To keep everyone reading over the summer months, please
bring titles of a few books that you have enjoyed--bring
paper and pencil to write down the titles that may sound
interesting. See you there!
Waterers
Thanks to Pat
Sharpe and Ron
McLaughlin who
have volunteered to water the sunflowers and grasses at
Mountain View Park this summer.
Benches
Need a spot to rest while you meander around the
neighborhood? New benches (with comfortable backs) have
been installed in the Ramada garden, Palo Verde del
Norte (formerly known as Pie I) and next to the new
monument in Flag Park. Two of the benches were funded by
Enhancement and one by the raffles and auctions of
mesquite crafts by Jim
Copeland & Terry Shay.
EE Periodico
After seven seasons as publisher and editor of the
Periodico de Esperanza, Denise
Roessle and Cynthia Surprise have
decided to retire. While they have enjoyed their work,
their lives have changed and they believe the time has
come to let others carry on with the job. They hope to
publish one final edition of the Periodico shortly. The
Monday Morning Memo will continue to let residents know
of important news and events in EE. Anyone interested in
taking over the Periodico can contact Cynthia with any
questions.
What Was Your Name, Again?
If you don't already have an EE name tag, they'll just
have to wonder until September. Melodye Cooke has sent
in her last name tag order of the season.
Bee Alert: Don't Give Them a Home
Spring swarms of bees huddled around their new queen
aren't looking for trouble; they're just looking for a
home. Don't let it be yours. Fill any tiny cracks and
holes in porches and walls now before their scouts find
them. Scouts invesitgating your home will move on, if
they find no entry.
Resting swarms in trees and bushes or on walls with no
entry will move on within a few days. Don't swat at
them; that signals that you are a threat to them. Give
them a wide berth and contact a board member to place
warning signs in the area.
Leaving for the Summer?
Even if you are only going to be away for a week or
two, now is a good time to be sure your Neighborhood
Watch block captain has your updated emergency contact
information. Not sure who your block captain is? Call Mary
Beth Wallace at 399-0299.
EE History
Curious about the history of our wonderful HOA? The
history of EE's early years is now posted under 'HOA
Documents' on our website (esperanzaestates.net).
Attention Yoga Participants
The last class of the season will be this Wednesday, April
26 at 3 p.m., at the Ramada. Classes will resume in
the fall.
