Bylaws Change Discussion Today
Today at 3 pm in the Ramada, Board designee Ben Sheffield will be available to answer questions about several proposed changes to the EE HOA CC&Rs and Bylaws.

The changes are designed to bring our Bylaws into compliance with Arizona statutes. All EE homeowners are encouraged to attend.
