Green Valley, AZ January 9 Good Morning: Pool Status Report: We have been advised that the parts needed to restore operation of the pool will be available for installation on Friday, January 13. Assuming successful installation without further problems, the pool will reopen that day. The Periodico staff is looking for help from residents to find interesting stories in our EE community. You are the best source for leads on interesting neighbors or interesting events taking place on your block. If you know of something or someone you believe other EE residents would enjoy reading about, please contact the Periodico editor, Cynthia Surprise: cjsurprise@verizon.net or call 205-2742.
The famous Hamburger

They are sponsored by our hard-working Hospitality

The EE name badges will be there in the new container, all nice
and neat and available. If you have not yet picked up your

Gardeners have
selected Esperanza Park as the site for the Arizona Flag Mural
and the ceramic snake. They are also planning a Centennial
Celebration at which time both projects will be unveiled. Stay
tuned for details about this event. As part of the Gardeners
plan to enhance the appearance of our common areas, Stacie
Meyer has
volunteered to tile the cement bench at the Esperanza entrance
monument. Thanks to Terry Shay's efforts, GG
Tile & Stone has
agreed to donate a large amount of tile to the Gardeners for use
on future projects. If you are interested in joining this
group, contact Bill
Berdine at
344-7301. Seventeen creative residents attended the Ceramic Snake Workshop
held in the Ramada on Friday and Saturday. A large number of
beautiful tile sections for our snake have now been completed,
and a second workshop will be held later this month. This
project has been a very enjoyable experience for all the
participants, and they are making a significant contribution to
our community. Here is a note from EE Hikemaster Marian Mundale: Monday
(today), January 9th we will meet at the Ramada at 9:00 a.m.
We will be hiking in Madera Canyon. We will start at the
Proctor parking lot and hike up to the Amphitheater. It
will be a three mile round trip hike. Those that want to
stop at the Madera picnic area, it would be a two mile round
trip hike. To go to the amphitheater, it is an additional
4/10ths of a mile. Most of the trail is easy walking, some
rocks. Good shoes, hiking poles if you have them. Elevation
around 400 feet. Bring water, lunch, we will eat at the
amphitheater. We will be sharing gas expense with the
drivers. As reported in the Green Valley News, there have been
several burglaries within the last couple of months in
various neighborhoods around our community. Some of these
break-ins have been through the large sliding glass doors. To prevent anyone from springing the locks on these doors,
we suggest that you install a wooden dowel on the inside
slider track channel. Also, prudence suggests we all
implement other common-sense protective measures, such as
locking our doors and windows. The EEHOA annual meeting is next Monday, Jan. 16th, and the
period for voting your choices for additional trim colors
is approaching the deadline. We will collect the final
ballots on Saturday, 1/14/12, so they can be tabulated and
the results given at the annual meeting. As of
1/8/12, the four leading trim color choices are: It is important to note that unless the amendment to the
CC&R's is passed, the only trim color available will remain
Norfolk Brown. Please be sure to cast your vote for this
important issue. Thanks to all who have taken their time and effort to help
with this proposition. Neighborhood Watch has a vacancy
for a Block Captain and needs a volunteer for this position
in Zone 20 which includes homes from 1093-1143 on Circulo
del Sur. All homes are on the south side of del Sur. If
you have any
questions, contact the head of our Neighborhood Watch
program, Mary Beth Wallace, at 399-0299 or by email to:

week!
