Movies Return to Ramada
After a summer hiatus, cooler evening temperatures have inspired the Arts Club to resume the popular weekly movie nights at the Ramada. This Wednesday the show will be The Red Skelton Show. Starting time is 7:00. A donation ($2.00 suggested) to the Arts Club would be appreciated.

Bring a Book -- Take a Book
Calling all EE readers--if you have a book or two which you have read or if you would like to read a book you do not have, the new EE Book Exchange is for you! A cabinet labeled "Book Exchange" is at the Ramada, inside the gated pool area. Gently read books can be deposited in the cabinet and taken from the cabinet by any EE resident. The books can be returned for use by others and there is no limit to what can be taken for your reading enjoyment. All books are considered donations and will not be returned to the original owner. In the spring, the collection will be weeded and some will be donated to the Enhancement Team's Patio Sale. Thanks to the Team for donating funds for the cabinet and to Cindy Krantz for suggesting the Book Exchange.

Thanks to Our Pool Checker
Many thanks to Richard Magnuson, our volunteer nightly pool closer and chemical checker. He recently repaired a hazardous condition which had developed with the metal covering for the pool cover. Richard's work in keeping our pool area safe and in good condition is much appreciated.

Warning!
A brand new sign will greet you when you enter the pool area. The sign is new but the warning is not -- do not enter the pool or spa without first showering.  It's there as a reminder that body oils and lotions on your skin will come off in the water and clog up the filters. Nasty result.

From Our Neighborhood Watch
A huge 'thanks' to Claire Coon and Carol Flatt for their many years of service as Block Captains. Clair is moving to Tucson and Carol is retiring as a Block Captain. They both did outstanding work for the HOA. Welcome to Pat Shipman who has volunteered to assume Zone 2 on Nueva.
We need a volunteer for Zone 17 (homes on the north side of Regalo, with addresses 802 - 926). Winter residents are welcome to volunteer. We have several and they do a great job keeping up with their areas.
Special thanks to the Block Captains who continue to support the HOA.
Contact Mary Beth Wallace Neighborhood Watch Chairperson at merrymary7@q.com or 399-0299 to volunteer.

October Neighborhood Watch Safety Tips
1. When leaving for vacation--especially with our semi-enclosed carports--it is not a good idea to leave a car covered with a battery charger in plain sight. A burglar trolling the neighborhood would see you are gone and yours would be a very easy home to invade.
2. To be away for an extended amount of time and have weeds, shrubs. etc. not maintained tells a burglar you are not home.
3. Newspapers, cards, telephone books accumulating on the ground in front of your home all tell a burglar you are not home and will not be for an extended amount of time. They could come back at night and take what they want.
REMEMBER here in Arizona to report any suspicious activity you can call 911.

Ken Miller
Ken and Kay Miller would like to thank their friends in EE for the cards sent to Ken during his stay in the hospital. Ken is now in Santa Rita, and cards can be sent to him at his home on 948 Calle del Regalo.

Photos Wanted
The Periodico is looking for photos for the October issue representing glimpses of daily life in EE. We also welcome photos on any subject as long as they are taken in EE. Send submissions to droessle@mac.com or drop them off at 801 Circulo Napa.
