Wednesday Night Movie
This week's movie (7:00 PM in the
Ramada) is MASH, the original 1971 movie starring
Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould. Thanks to Jane and
Eric Ellingson for sponsoring this event.
Thanks for the Great Party
The Hospitality Committee did it again with their
festive Cinco de Mayo party last Saturday. Over 80 attendees,
many wearing colorful garb, enjoyed the plentiful array of
potluck fare. And, yes, we were once again treated to what has
become an EE tradition: Tom Cooke's Cinco de Mayo joke.
Ice Out on the Santa Cruz
For those of you who recently returned to your summer
homes where temperatures are still in the 50s (brrr!), we wanted
to be sure you knew that we are expecting to reach 100 degrees
this week. If you are new to the area, you may be scratching
your head when you hear people saying "Ice is out on the Santa
Cruz." That's how some refer to breaking 100 degrees in our
area.
Land Acquisition Update
From the Committee: "The Las Campanas Community Association
(LCCA) has stated that they are interested in buying the
property and their Board of Directors is working through
their process.
An agreement in principle has been reached with three of the
four HOAs - Portillo Place, Ventura West and Esperanza
Estates - and the homeowners who purchased the property. The
agreed upon terms, under which we would collect and provide
our pledged donations, have been sent to Las Campanas for
their legal review. The agreement is basically that the land
will never be developed and this condition could not be
changed even if the property is sold at a later date. Our
residents will also have access to the property.
We expect LCCA's initial feedback any day now. If there are
no issues raised that affect the agreement then it will be
submitted to our respective HOA Boards for formal approval.
Once that happens we will go forward with pledge
collections.
We can see the finish line and the track is cleaner than
that at the Kentucky Derby!"
Attention Book Discussion Group Members
The group will discuss Hotel Paradise at the
next meeting on May 8 at 1:00 PM at the Ramada,
and will also consider selections for next year. Members
attending the meeting will pick the finalists and all members
will be invited to vote by email. A list of recommended books
appears in the March issue of the Periodico on the EE website esperanzaestates.net.
Bring any other suggestions to the meeting or email Linda
Sielken at lsielken@gmail.com.
Doing Some Exterior Repainting?
The EE website paint
colors page has been updated to note that Dunn-Edwards paint
is available at the Sahuarita Ace Hardware, in addition to D-E's
four Tucson area stores. A neighbor reported that he had received a
25% discount at the Ace store after mentioning our HOA discount
available at D-E stores.
Help Stamp Out Hunger
The annual letter carriers' stamp out hunger food drive
is Saturday, May 12. If you want to
contribute, you can leave donations of non-perishable food next
to your mailbox before your regular mail delivery time. Also,
remember that there is always a bin at the Ramada where you can
make donations any time.
