Board Meeting Today
The HOA Board will hold its regular monthly meeting today at the Ramada at 1:00.  A copy of the agenda is included at the end of this memo.  If you want to read the minutes of previous meetings, they are available on the website esperanzaestates.net.

Coffee & Donuts
The Cookes and the Millers will be hosting their monthly free coffee and donuts at the Ramada this Wednesday at 8:00 a.m.  It's a great way to wake up and warm up on a chilly December morning.

Arts Club Meeting Wednesday
The EE Arts Club has many great plans for 2015, and it's never to late to join in the fun and discover your talent. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. in the Ramada. 

The Last Picture Show for 2014
Thanks to Kevin and Linda Welsh, there will be one more Wednesday night movie in 2014.
The 2013 movie 'The Christmas Candle' will be shown. Set in 19th-century England, a minister's quest to modernize his village puts him at odds with people who believe that whoever lights the candle that an angel touched will receive a miracle on Christmas Eve.
Hot chocolate will be provided; attendees are asked to bring cookies and a donation for the food bank. Heaters will keep you toasty.  Arrive in time to grab two cushions for your chair--one for the back and one for the seat.  Start time is 6 p.m.  A donation to the Arts Club is appreciated.

Hip Hip Hooray!
Cheers to the Hospitality Committee for providing a great evening to a record setting 138 people at the holiday party last week.  Let's keep the trend going into 2015.  Thanks to all the members of the committee for working so hard to give us a good time.  And those cookies were wonderful.  Special thanks to the grilling trio of Sam Barnard, Dave Sielken and Jim Sourant and to Rich Thompson for leading us in song.  

Median GrEEn
If you noticed the activity on Esperanza Boulevard last week, you might have seen our own Barb McCalpin directing Pima County workers in low water landscaping on the median just north of EE.  What an improvement!  We'll all enjoy watching it grow.

Luminarias
The residents of Circulo Napa will delight us all with their annual luminarias display on Tuesday, December 23, starting at dusk.  This display gets better every year, so don't miss it. 

Do You Rent Out Your EE House?
Webmaster Craig Surprise has compiled a list of useful information that may be of interest to tenants. Check out the list on the website (esperanzaestates.net) and print out a copy to give to your tenants.

Got Magnets?
Forgot to take your name tag off?  Wore it home on your shirt?  Tossed it in the laundry?  Now that tiny magnet has found it's way into the void of single socks--never to be seen again?  Afraid you'll be anonymous at EE functions forever more?
Never fear.  Magnetic Melodye Cooke can supply a new magnet for your name tag for the low, low price of $1, and that includes shipping and handling.  So call now--or at least before midnight some night--to take advantage of this special offer. Really, call now at 399-0455 to let her know--so that she can order in quantity and save $$$.
