Movie Night
This week's movie on Wednesday at 7:00 PM at
the Ramada is Green
Book, the winner of the 2019 Academy Award for best
picture. Dr. Don Shirley is a world-class
African-American pianist, who is about to embark on a
concert tour in the Deep South in 1962. In need of a
driver and protection, Shirley recruits Tony Lip, a
tough-talking bouncer from an Italian-American
neighborhood in the Bronx. Despite their differences,
the two men soon develop an unexpected bond while
confronting racism and danger in an era of segregation. Thanks
to Roger and Sandy Oster for providing
the film and to Jane & Eric Ellingson for
sponsoring this event.
Tour EE's Parks
Our parks are looking spectacular! On Thursday,
April 11, starting at 3:30,
the EE Fiber Arts Group will host an informational
tour of all the parks, with a docent at each park to
point out what has been accomplished by the EE
Gardeners. The parks featured are Shade Tree Park
(next to the pickleball courts), Esperanza Estates
Park (corner of Holgado and Esperanza Blvd),
Mountain View Park (southeast corner of Circulo
Napa), Wishing Well Park (S. Circulo Napa) and
Mesquite Park (Camino Holgado). You can go in any
order. Walk, drive or carpool. Conclude the tour at
the Hospitality Committee's event at the Ramada.
Burgers and Hot Dogs on the Menu
EE Hospitality Committee is planning to fire up the
grill at the Ramada on Thursday, April 11.
In addition to burgers and hot dogs, there will be cole
slaw, chips, dessert and complimentary beverages. Social
hour starts at 4:30 and dinner at 5:00. Cost
is $8.00. The event will be a good
chance to say good-bye to some of your neighbors who are
starting to depart for the season.
Two HOA Positions Filled
The Board has appointed Larry Kempton as
our representative to the Green Valley Council and Nancy
Moore will take over Neighborhood Relations.
Thanks to both of them for volunteering for these
important positions.
Book Discussion Group
The group will meet at the Ramada at 1:00 PM on
Tuesday to discuss News
of the World by Paulette Jiles. Kathy LaVanway will lead the discussion. New
members are always welcome.
Morning Water Aerobics
Here's a sure sign that spring has arrived. The
morning Water Aerobics Group is meeting again at 8:30
on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays. Everyone
welcome.
Volunteers Needed - Please help our HOA
Our HOA has some jobs that are in need of
volunteers. We are looking for a volunteer or volunteers
to tend the flag at Flag Park. Training will be
provided. Basic responsibility will be to replace the
flag if it is weathered once or twice a year. Flags are
provided for this work. Contact Jim Copeland at 952-250-5399.
Here's a perfect
small volunteer job that's ideal for a morning dog
walker (but you don't need to be one to volunteer).
About every two weeks, our fountain in Sunset Park
at the Ramada needs a chlorine tablet to keep the
water fresh and clean. The HOA will supply you with
the tablets, and all you would need to do is toss it
in the fountain. If you are our person, call Tom
Cooke at 399-0455 and
he'll get you set up.
Green Valley Gardeners' Garden Tour
The GV Gardeners' 39th annual garden tour will take
place on Saturday, April 13, from 9:00
to 3:00. Tour 5 delightful gardens in Green
Valley and be inspired. Tickets are $12; they can be
purchased at the Chamber of Commerce, Nancy Pantz,
Desert Bloom, Native Gardens and The Happy Quail until
Friday. EE residents can also purchase them by

you have exact change or a check.

Happy Hour at the Ramada will start at 4:00
PM on the following Fridays: April
19, May 3, May 17, May 31. Bring your own beverage,
glasses, utensils, and an appetizer to share.
