Hope Camp is
Tuesday's Hike
Yup, this week's EE Hike is taking place on Tuesday. Load
up on plenty of water if you plan to join Fearless Leader Marian
Mundale for this hike in the Rincon Mountains. This is a 5.8
mile hike with only 600 feet of elevation gain, but a warm
weather hike in the open desert will empty those water bottles
quickly.
Meet at the
Ramada at 8
am with $6
carfare per person. Plan on a return after 2 pm. Bring your
senior pass if you plan on driving. |

Gentlemen
(and Ladies) Start Your Crock Pots
Tuesday, January 14, marks
the First Annual EE Chili Cook Off. For a mere $5 EE
residents will be allowed a taste of each contestant's unique
submission. Secret ballots will be utilized to determine
the awarding of the coveted winner's apron. Be at the Ramada at 5:00
pm to join
in the fun. With a cowboy (cowgirl) theme going for this event,
it's a good chance to wear your fancy western duds. Did you
know? Jesse James, outlaw and desperado of the old American
West, refused to rob a bank in McKinney, Texas because that is
where his favorite chili parlor was located. |
Coffee & Donuts
There's no nicer way to start out these nippy January mornings
than with a cup of hot coffee with neighbors at the Ramada.
Come on over this Wednesday,
January 15, at 8:30 a.m.
Heaters will be on if needed. Thanks to the Cookes and
the Millers for
sponsoring this free event. |
Arts Club Meeting
The Arts Club will meet on Wednesday,
January 15, at 10:00 a.m. at
the Ramada. There's still time to become involved in the
exciting projects the group has planned for 2014. New
members are always welcome.

Hang on to
Those Ballots
If you haven't
yet mailed your EE Board Ballot, hang on to it and deliver it at
the Annual Meeting, Monday,
January 20. You can preserve the secrecy of you
ballot by placing it in the small Ballot envelope before
delivering it in the larger one marked with your address and lot
number. The meeting starts at 2:00
pm with check-in
beginning at 1:30 pm. It's at the Desert Hills Social
Center once again. |
Arivaca Home Tour
The EE Adventure Club will journey to Arivaca for the
annual home tour on Saturday,
January 25. Five unique homes in this fascinating
town will be open for viewing and decorating inspiration.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the Green Valley
Chamber of Commerce in advance or at the Arivaca Artists'
Co-op on the day of the tour. We will car pool from
the Ramada leaving at about 9:00 a.m. The homes open at 10.
In light of the multiple locations of the homes and how
crowded Arivaca will be that day, we are not organizing a
formal lunch gathering. Each group will decide their own
arrangements. You may want to bring a snack with you. If
you are interested in going, contact Cynthia
Surprise at
cjsurprise@verizon.net. Please indicate if you would be
willing to drive. |
