The season's final Free Coffee and Donuts at the Ramada was held last Wednesday, and attended by about 35 people. As a special treat, they enjoyed a Danish Kringle, donated by Bill Berdine and Stacy Meyer. This event will begin again in the fall.

EE Board member Sam Barnard has been elected Commander of Green Valley's Madera Post of the American Legion. The Post has over 650 regular members, many of whom Sam has recruited.  Our congratulations to Sam, who has also served our HOA for a number of years as both a Board member and a long-time volunteer with the Hospitality Committee.

The Board voted at the meeting held last Monday to discontinue water service at Esperanza Park, which had not been used for some time and for which there are no plans for future use. This will save the HOA the monthly expense, plus the maintenance costs of the connection--which managed to freeze and break every winter at least once.

New signs have been placed in the changing rooms at the pool with some of the regulations the HOA needs to enforce.  If you are a pool user, please read these and heed them as well. A sign has also been placed near the entrance ladders to the pool and spa as a final reminder not to enter either one before a soap shower.

The Spanish Dagger (Yucca Gloriosa) plantings at the pool, which were lost to the freeze this past winter, will be replaced in the near future.

Casa de Esperanza is holding an Ice Cream Social on May 7, from 1 to 4 pm at the Casa building on the La Posada campus.  The social will feature ice cream, toppings, balloons, entertainment, raffles, prizes and fun! Tickets are $3 each, or 2 for $5, and are available from Melodye, at 399-0455.  She will deliver the tickets to you. Casa is a non-profit organization and the proceeds of this event will go to the Senior Lunch Program, which helps Green Valley seniors get adequate nutrition. 

There is a green coffee container on the counter at the Ramada for collecting pop-top can tabs.  The tabs go to help support the Ronald McDonald House in Tucson, a temporary residence facility for out-of-town families with children in local hospitals.  Please save your tabs and put them in this can periodically to help support this worthwhile effort.

Have a good week. We hope you had a blessed Easter.
