Mama Mia! Mangiare!
The Hospitality Committee will work their magic and transport you to an Italian trattoria when they serve up a taste of Italy starting at 4:30 on Tuesday, February 9.  On the menu will be lasagna (with a vegetarian and possibly a gluten free dish), Caesar salad, bread sticks with herbs and butter, biscotti and the usual beverages. Price of a meal is $7.  

Tick Tock, Tick Tock
Craftsmen Jim Copeland and Terry Shay are putting their wood crafting talents to use for the benefit of EE once again. This time they are donating mesquite clocks, lazy susans and a few serving boards to be raffled off at the Italian dinner on February 9. All proceeds will go to the Enhancement Team for use in future EE projects. The clock designs are a mixture of wall, mantel or shelf. The lazy susans are 10 inches. All are enhanced with inlay of copper or turquoise. Tickets will be sold at the dinner for $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. Each ticket will give you 7 or more chances to win.

Chili Cook-off is Off
The Hospitality Committee has decided not to hold the chili cook-off scheduled in March.  Instead they will plan another event for March 9th. The cancellation is due to the significant electrical challenges presented by having to plug in so many crock pots at the Ramada. 

Book Discussion Group
If the forecast for Tuesday (cold) holds true, the Book Discussion Group will meet at 11:00 at Cindy's house, 801 Calle del Regalo. Parking on Regalo at that hour may be difficult because of mail delivery, so please try to park on Portillo or at the Ramada. 

The Sound of Music
The Enhancement Team's first ever concert will feature EE resident Hewlett Crist, a world-renowned classical guitarist playing his own compositions "Songs of the Desert."
Date: Saturday, February 13th
Time: 2:00 p.m followed by a wine and cheese reception
Where: EE Ramada
Cost: $15 per ticket (Must be purchased in advance.)
To purchase tickets, call Jackie Rautio (602-206-3354.)
Tickets will not be sold at the concert.
Seating is limiting and tickets are selling fast, so call as early as you can.

Annual Enhancement Ramada Sale
This year's Ramada sale will be on Saturday, March 5th.  EE residents will once again have exclusive early-bird buying on Friday, March 4th from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Items to donate: all household items, jewelry, accessories, furniture, lawn furniture, garage items, bicycles, all kinds of computers (including those with old versions of Windows even non-working ones), printers (must be in working condition) and misc. other items. We do not take old TV's, clothing, mattresses or box springs. To donate items call Marian Mundale 625-2238, or Kraylen Miholer 393-8133.

Household Hazardous Waste Event Volunteers Needed
GVC's HHW Event will be held on Saturday, March 19, from 8:00 a.m. to noon.  Cynthia Surprise and Frank McCabe are coordinating the volunteer efforts and are looking for a few more volunteers to help out at the event.  If you are interested, contact Cynthia (cjsurprise@verizon.net) or Frank (ftm21@msn.com). 

How to Reserve the Ramada
Want to use the Ramada for an EE or private event or activity?  Please be sure to consult the calendar posted on the bulletin board in the Ramada kitchen to be sure no one else has reserved your desired date. In the event of a conflict, HOA events take precedence over private events. To reserve the Ramada, write your name, the time you want (include set up and clean up time) and your phone number on the calendar. If you want to schedule a weekly event, please sign up for each day you want, but you can write your contact information on just the first sign up of every month.  If you see that someone has reserved a time you want, you may contact that person to confirm they still plan to use the Ramada or to find out if both activities could share the Ramada.  For example, two small group meetings would likely be able to meet without interference.  We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful meeting place.

2016 EE Directories
To purchase a 2016 EE Name & Address Directory call Mary Beth Wallace (399-0299). The price is $3.00.

Attention New Residents, New Car, or New Golf Cart Owners
The EE Gardeners still have a few iconic EE license plates left to sell for $10 each.  This may be your last chance to show your pride in our neighborhood everywhere you go. To purchase a plate, contact Cynthia Surprise at cjsurprise@verizon.net or (857-209-1978).

Have New Neighbors?
EE's Bienvenidos Committee tries to welcome every new EE resident.  Please help us do that by contacting Cynthia Surprise when your new neighbors move in. We generally get notification when a home sale has closed, but we often don't know when the buyer actually moves in.
