Spring Cleaning with a Power Washer

Chairs, tables, and the floor of our party patio will shine once again, thanks to the hard work of the team. No, they don't do cars, but they'll welcome anyone who stops by with a bucket and a brush.

Home & Garden Tour Information
The tour of 10 EE homes and gardens is next Sunday, March 24 from 1:00 to 3:00, followed by a wine and cheese party at the Ramada. The brochure, designed by talented EE artist Kraylen Miholer, is also your ticket which you must bring with you on the tour. Look down in the right hand corner of the cover to find the number of the house where you will start your tour. The map showing home numbers is inside. Please start with the number on the cover and visit the homes in sequence. This will help avoid overcrowding in any one home. If you purchased tickets for non-resident guests, you must accompany them on the tour.
After the tour the Gardeners and Arts Club will be selling mosaic pots, ever-blooming, cement flowers and gaily painted decorator fish to adorn your home or garden. This will also be your last chance to purchase a raffle ticket for the decorated birdhouse; the winning ticket will be drawn at the end of the wine and cheese party.

Attention Home & Garden Tour Homeowners
The official EE Home and Garden Tour photographers, award-winning photographer Jim Lindberg and webmaster Craig Surprise, would like to take photos of your homes and gardens. They will be on the pre-tour on Saturday to schedule a photo session for either Saturday after the pre-tour, Sunday morning before the tour, or another convenient time for you. The photo session should take about 30 minutes.

Spiffed Up Gator
Thanks to Bill Pratt, our Gator is purring and ready for it's spring and summer weeding work. Bill, an expert mechanic, went through the Gator and completely tuned it up, lubed it, repaired a lot of small things, made some general improvements, and re-upholstered the seat--all without any charge to the HOA. A man always in search of a project, Bill is now carving signs to label the plants in our parks.

Weeds Be Gone
Kudos to EE residents for keeping the neighborhood virtually weed free last year. We were all proud of how great we looked. Now it's time to do it again. Please don't let us down.
