Arts & Crafts Fair
Twelve innovative EE residents will be offering their
handmade creations at the 3rd Annual Esperanza Estates Arts
and Crafts Fair from 1PM to 4PM on Saturday,
December 2nd at the Ramada. Artists/participants
are reminded that they will begin setting up at 11:30.
Wednesday Night Movie
This week's movie is Woman in Gold starring Helen
Mirren. Showtime is 7:00 p.m. at the Ramada.
The movie is based on the true story of a feisty octogenarian,
a Jewish refugee who takes on the Austrian government to recover
artwork she believes rightfully belongs to her family. Thanks to Jane
and Eric Ellingson for sponsoring this popular event.
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.
"Amateur" Afternoon Water Aerobics
Robin and Dean
Lockwood are hoping to gather a group of water
aerobics enthusiasts to join them on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays from 2:30 to 3:30 at the
pool each week. Since they have no official leader, they are
hoping to continue in the format the group ended with last
spring, where they lead themselves with a group effort each
session. It was fun and they still always managed to get a
good workout. Robin and Dean will be in the pool beginning Monday,
November 27th,
and hope to see some of you there to join them. Dates and
times are open to discussion once they get the group
started.
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.
New Plantings
The Enhancement Team has installed replacement plants in the
blue pots and planter at the EE monument on Esperanza Blvd. They
are the ultimate in no water plants -- metal. Cyndie and
Vera Gates and Tammy Kempton made the selection and Jim
Copeland and Kevin Welsh did the planting.
The garden in front of the monument at the Ramada was also
rejuvenated. Jane Ellingson did the design and Hot
Desert Landscaping (under the supervision of Dean
Hess) did the labor. Stop by to enjoy the park bench
that was previously sinking into the sand.
Snakes Still Around
From Jim Copeland: "This week while making my
rounds I found a 4 foot bull snake in the water connection box
at Esperanza park. Not a big deal as it was happy to leave after
I opened the box. Two weeks ago I found a smaller rattler in the
water box at shade tree park. So my advice is be careful when
opening the water control boxes. Once the box is open the snake
is generally happy to leave. Problem should go away once colder
weather comes our way.
Pool Gate
The gate on the south side of the pool enclosure has been
adapted to facilitate access by people using scooters. Please do
not place anything such as chairs or heaters where they would
make it difficult for a scooter to pass by.
Road Repair
From Joe McCalpin, our GVC representative: At a
meeting on Tuesday, November 28, the
Transportation Advisory Council will vote on what recommendation
it will send to the Board of Supervisors regarding road repair.
The County's recommendation is to repair roads in good condition
rather than fix failed roads. We can provide support for GVC's
plan by sending emails to Lucretia Free (one of
Steve Christy's staffers and a member of TAC). Her email
address is Lucretia.Free@pima.gov.
If the County's approach is taken NO money will be spent in
Green Valley next year.
The More the Merrier--Elections 2018
Want to get acquainted with your neighbors? Run for the EE
Board. Part-time residents are encouraged to run. Monthly
meetings are scheduled for the third Monday of each month except
July and August, but it is acceptable to be out of town for a
couple of them.
Your name can still be added to the list of board candidates,
contact Kris Bean at eekris2017@outlook.com or Joe
McCalpin at 520-867-8067.
