Arts & Crafts Sale
EE's annual Arts & Crafts Sale is right around the corner. On Saturday, December 1, from 10:00 AM to noon at the Ramada, you'll be able to buy handcrafted items made by neighbors.  It's a great chance to buy some unique holiday gifts. To reserve a table to sell your work, contact Marla Riesat gvmarlaries@gmail.com.

Wednesday Night Movie at the Ramada
This week's movie is The Family Stone starring Diane Keaton and Sarah Jessica Parker.  An uptight, conservative business-woman accompanies her boyfriend to his eccentric and out-going family's annual Christmas celebration and finds that she's a fish out of water in their free-spirited way of life. Showtime is 7:00 PM.  Thanks to Jane and Eric Ellingsonfor sponsoring this event.

Time to Decorate Those Lamp Posts
EE has a tradition of decorating street light posts for the holiday season. Don't have the time? Out of town? The Enhancement Elves will decorate (and undecorate) your post for just $10 if you already have the decorations, $15 if you don't.  A plug adapter is an additional $2.00.  Deadline for requesting this service is December 6.  To schedule a visit from the Elves, contact Jackie Rautio at 269-7864.

Hospitality Committee Event
Start the holiday season at the Sweet and Savory Holiday Celebration Saturday, December 15th.  Even addresses should bring appetizers and odd addresses desserts.  Prizes will be awarded for the ugliest Christmas sweater/shirt.  A gift basket raffle will raise funds for the committee. Bring a "white elephant" gift to participate in the optional gift exchange.  Social hour begins at 4:30 PM with food to follow at 5:00.  Wine, beer, water, soda, and Southern Comfort Punch will be available. No charge for this event.  Happy Hour on December 14 is cancelled in light of the Hospitality event.

New Phone Number?
If your phone number has changed since last year's EE Name & Address Directory was published, please send your new number to Cheri Day (thedays007@aol.com) by Dec. 15.  New directories will be for sale at the EEHOA annual meeting in January.

Book Discussion Group--Just a Menu to Read This Time
The Book Discussion Group will go to lunch at Firefly in Amado on Friday, December 14, so there is no book for December.  Please call Linda Sielken (908-240-1887) today if you plan on attending.
On January 8, Karen O'Brien will lead a discussion of A Man Called Ove by Frederik Backman.

Attention Neighborhood Watch Block Captains

Thank you to Eric and Jane Ellingson for donating tickets to the 7:00PM, Dec. 14th, CPAC production of Honky Tonk Christmas. The tickets, along with a wine basket, will be raffled off at Happy Hour in support of the Hospitality Committee, so be sure to have some $$$ in your pockets.

Helpful Hints for HOA Happiness
The Board is aware that not everyone reads and understands EE's CC&Rs and Rules, so they have asked the Monday Morning Memo to include reminders of issues that often occur, disrupting the peace and harmony of our community.  We are paraphrasing and abbreviating the CC&Rs and Rules, so if an item applies to you, read the full applicable section of the CC&Rs or Rules or call a Board member for clarification. Here's this week's hint: Don't park on the street overnight, and if you park in your driveway, make sure your vehicle doesn't overhang the sidewalk. It's considered a hazard for walkers to have to step into the street to divert around your vehicle.
