Spring Fling
The Spring Fling is this Saturday at
the Ramada. Our creative and hard working Hospitality Committee
will take you back to the 50's. Look forward to burgers, hot
dogs, beans, coleslaw, cookies, beer, wine, and soft drinks!
Music will be performed by Country Comfort featuring
country rock and oldies. There will also be a raffle to help
raise money for a few Ramada kitchen cupboard improvements.
Social hour starts at 4:30 and dinner at 5:00.
Cost is $8.00. The bin for donations to the Green Valley Food
Bank will be at the Ramada. Bring a food donation if you can.
Pledge to Purchase Land on Esperanza Boulevard
The latest news from the Committee: "We held a
meeting with the Portillo Place, Ventura West and Las Campanas
HOA "land acquisition" teams to review the status of inquiries
and pledges. Our joint pledge drives are showing good results.
Although we are nearing the estimated target for required
purchase funds, we are still accepting further pledges to ensure
we meet our goal. We are also close to determining an ultimate
owner and expect to have an answer and recommendation to discuss
at the EE Board meeting on April
16. The bottom line is that we are nearing the finish line!"

18.
Thanks to Jane & Eric Ellingson for

Attention Book Discussion Group Members
The group voted to change the date & time of future

EE Board Scheduled for Monday March 16th at 1 pm
Another regularly scheduled meeting of the EEHOA Board

Green Valley Food Bank
As you get ready to head back to your summer home,

of the Veterans Hospital in Tucson. Fisher House, like the
Ronald McDonald House, is for families of veterans who are
being treated at the hospital. It provides free room and
meals for immediate family members in a nice hotel-like
setting.
As part of the club's support, donated supplies for the use
and support of these families are collected. Donations
of supplies will be accepted at the Hospitality Committee's
Spring Fling on April 14 at the Ramada.

K-pods, individual snacks, individual chip bags, Ziploc
sandwich and storage bags, plastic forks, paper plates and
