Tuesday Book Discussion Group
The Tuesday Book Discussion Group will have its first
gathering of 2015 on Tuesday,
January 6 at 11 a.m. The
book to be discussed is Wonder by R. J. Palacio. We will
meet at the Ramada, weather permitting. Check your email to
see if weather will be changing the meeting location. If you
have not been to the group and do not receive their emails,
a notice will be posted at the Ramada with the location
address. Hope to see you on the 6th. Call Cindy
Krantz (203-8292)
with questions or for more information. ALL are welcome. |

Clamp that Lamp Lid!!
After you've un-decorated that lovely lamppost, double-check
that the lid is securely closed. Stiff winds can blow them off,
crack the lid, destroy the hinge, and (the worst) pull the whole
darn thing over onto the ground as well. If the lid can't be
immediately replaced, it's wise to cover the top of the lamp to
avoid electrical problems and the "pull over" effect. Tom
Cooke tries
to have a supply of lids and lamps on hand for EE resident
purchase. Give him a call at 399-0455 if
you need to locate a replacement. |

Park and Pergola Progress
After almost a year of planning, the shade tree
park and pergola are about to become a reality. The materials
for the pergola have been delivered and the trees and shrubs
will be delivered and installed in mid-January. Dick
Carver is
working on the irrigation system, which will be installed late
this week, and Al
Prato and Terry Shay are
painting the wood components of the pergola (Norfolk Brown, of
course). Thanks to all the Gardeners for their hard work to
convert this barren area of EE into a pleasant spot. |

Keep that Fitness Resolution with Aqua Exercise--Next Week
If getting more exercise is on your list of New Year's
Resolutions, you can improve your strength, endurance,
cardiovascular health, and balance with aqua exercise. And
you'll do it without joint pain. Join your neighbors in the
EE pool from 3-4
pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays for
fun and fitness. Sorry, no class this week, but they'll be
moving and improving again next week. |

Try Hatha Yoga
Looking for a way to begin the New Year with a healthful
activity? Give Hatha Yoga a try. A recently certified yoga/Pilates
instructor, Valerie Davenport, has agreed to lead a group in
GENTLE yoga at the Ramada, and a dozen residents have already
signed up. Participants are asked to donate $5-$6 per class.
(1 hour GVR yoga classes are at least $11 a class.) It has
been suggested that classes be held twice a week either Mondays
and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:00 a.m. or 3:00
p.m. Input on days and times from interested participants is
requested. All EE neighbors are invited to join or to just sit
in to evaluate their options. Please email your interest and
preferences for days & times to Mary Grgich at marygrgich17@gmail.com or Sharon
Rowe at srowe62902@aol.com
