Fly Your Own Flag in Time for Memorial Day
If you'd like to add the red-white-and-blue to your mailbox, Mary Beth Wallace could help you out. She's purchased 20 small flags suitable for mailbox display and will make them available to EE residents who'd like to put them out in time for Memorial Day. You can contact her at 399-0299.
 

Paws in the Pool
Want to give your best friend a special treat?  Mark your calendar now to join in the fun at the Madera Vista Pool on Portillo. On Saturday, August 6, from 7 am until noon well-behaved canines (accompanied by their owners) will be allowed to frolic in the pool.  This event is open to GVR and non-GVR dogs.  Your $5 donation will help support the GVR Foundation. More details as the date approaches.
 

Time For A Trim
A reminder that it's time to arrange to have tall palm trees on your property trimmed.  Untrimmed palm trees pose a serious fire hazard because they are lightning magnets--especially during monsoon season. Every year we hear reports of such fires in Green Valley.
The trimming should not take place until June 1, but needs to be completed by June 30. The HOA absolutely requires this to be done as a safety issue. Your cooperation in this matter will be appreciated, and it is in the best interests of you and your neighbors to do the necessary trimming.
The HOA uses Monstrosity Tree Service because they do a good job at a fair price.  Homeowners are free to use anyone they please, however. You can contact Monstrosity at: (520) 230-7131 or (520) 625-TREE, and they can do the trimming even if you are not in residence.
 

Shed Shaping Up
The new EE storage shed is slated for protection of our watering and weed spraying apparatus as well as Enhancement's loaners & patio sale items. Thanks to Ben Sheffield's scheduling of needed inspections, construction is moving right along.  Stroll on by on your next morning walk and check it out.
 

On Vacation?
If you are going on vacation this summer, please share your adventures with us by sending photos to the Periodico.  Email them to droessle@mac.com or cjsurprise@verizon.net.  We enjoyed seeing them last year.
