November Board Meeting
Today at 1 p.m. at the Ramada is the next regularly scheduled EE Board meeting. The agenda is at the bottom of this memo. Are there new candidates for the board? Will the new budget include an air-conditioned golf cart for the director of Common Area Maintenance? You'll be among the first to know if you're in the audience.

THANK YOU!
A big round of applause to our wonderful Hospitality Committee for another special event last Saturday.  Over 110 people enjoyed a pre-Thanksgiving Italian feast. The crew works really hard to bring us together and serve us a great meal. Looking forward to their next event on December 16th.

No Movie This Week
There won't be a movie this Wednesday, so you won't miss anything while you are preparing for Thanksgiving.  There will be two movies in December and then a break until February while the weather is too cold to be comfortable to sit in the Ramada. Thanks to Jane & Eric Ellingson for sponsoring this event.

Arts & Crafts Fair
The EE Artisans will hold their annual sale on Saturday, December 2, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the Ramada.  If you are interested in selling your handcrafted items, please contact Marla Ries at gvmarlaries@gmail.com.  Only EE residents may sell items, but the sale will be open to the public.

The Holiday Elves Are Back
No "Bah Humbug" heard here!  EE has a long-standing tradition of decorating our street light posts for the holiday season from Thanksgiving to New Years.  If you don't have the time or the energy, or you aren't here during the holidays, you can enlist the aid of the Enhancement Elves.  They will do your decorating for a mere $10 if you have the decorations or $15 if you don't.  If you need the electrical plug-in to go in the socket in your post, the charge is an additional $2.00, but the adapter then becomes yours.  The charge includes both putting up and removing the decorations. The Elves start right after Thanksgiving and the deadline for requesting this service is December 10 (Santa has first dibs on them after that), so if you want the Elves to work their magic at your lamp post, call Jackie Rautio at 269-7864. They do extremely nice work.

Book Discussion Group
The EE Book Discussion Group will meet on Tuesday, December 5, at 11:00 a.m. in the Ramada.  EE resident Ginny Sollars will talk about writing her book, Windswept, A South Pacific Adventure. Members will also bring suggestions for books others may enjoy reading.

EE Gardeners Have Big Plans
Thanks to the Gardeners, our common areas will continue to flourish. Projects for 2018 will include planting seven trees in the common areas, replanting the corner of the Ramada Monument facing Portillo and part of Mountain View Park, cleaning several washes and transplanting cacti as they become available.  The Gardeners will hold a fundraiser at the Hospitality event in January to support their 2018 activities.
