Let's Do Lunch
The Enhancement Team is going to lunch at the Agave
at Desert Diamond Casino on Wednesday, September
13th and all EE residents are welcome to join
them.
Meet at the Ramada at 11:30 to carpool. Please
RSVP to Barb McCalpin (867-8067) by the
end of the day on Monday so she can have an accurate
count for the reservation.
Hospitality Event -- New Date
The next social event will take place on Saturday,
September 16, not on the 13th as previously
reported. The menu includes pulled pork, slaw, baked
beans, chips, dessert, beer, wine and soft drinks.
Start time is 6:00 p.m. Price is $7.00.
Movie Night Returns
Wednesday night movies at the Ramada resume this
week at 7:15 p.m. with Space Cowboys. Plot: four men
passed over by the space program get one last chance to
be heroes and live out their dreams. Frank Corvin (Clint
Eastwood), Hawk Hawkins (Tommy Lee Jones), Jerry O'Neill
(Donald Sutherland), and Tank Sullivan (James Garner)
were top pilots with an elite Air Force squadron and
on the fast track to becoming the first Americans in
space in the early 1950s. However, when NASA was
established, the pilots were cut out of the loop. Years
later, a Russian satellite's guidance system has started
to malfunction. The system is identical to the one Corvin designed for Skylab, so NASA asks Corvin to help
with the emergency mission to repair the satellite.
Corvin agrees under one condition -- that he be sent up
to do the repairs himself, with Hawkins, O'Neill, and
Sullivan as his crew. Thanks to the Ellingsons for
sponsoring this event.
Oh Boy! Another Board Meeting Looms
Excitement abounds as the EE HOA Board promises
another opportunity to witness local government in
action. Monday, September 18, is the
next regularly scheduled meeting. Be at the Ramada a
bit early for the 1 pm start time and
you'll garner the best seat and claim the fluffiest tush
cushion.
EE Book Discussion Group
The book discussion group will start meeting again
on October 3 at 11:00 in the Ramada.
New members are always welcome. The books we will be
discussing this year are:

the date is 1 week later than usual to allow for
people to return who left town for the holidays.
Free Bulbs for Lamp Posts
Periodically check your street lamp to make sure it
is working and request a new bulb if it isn't. Following
the replacement of all the lamp heads in EE in 2010, the
Board began offering to install CFL (energy-efficient)
replacement bulbs to keep the look of EE's street
lighting consistent. The approved 13-watt, warm-white
CFL bulbs are available at no cost by calling Tom
Cooke (399-0455) or Joe McCalpin (867-8067).
