Last Board Meeting of the Season
The EE Board will meet today at 1 PM at
the Ramada for the last regularly scheduled meeting until
September. The agenda is at the bottom of this memo.
Wednesday Night Movie
The title of this week's movie (7 PM at
the Ramada) is fitting for our monsoon season: Rain Man. When
car dealer Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) learns that his
estranged father has died, he returns home to Cincinnati, where
he discovers that he has an autistic older brother named Raymond
(Dustin Hoffman) and that his father's $3 million fortune is
being left to the mental institution in which Raymond lives.
Motivated by his father's money, Charlie checks Raymond out of
the facility in order to return with him to Los Angeles. The
brothers' cross-country trip ends up changing both their
lives.Thanks to Jane and Eric Ellingson for
sponsoring this event.
Weeds
It's now officially monsoon season which delights us
all, but summer rains also bring those dreaded weeds which can
spring up overnight in our yards. Thanks to Tom Cooke and Boyd
Morse, EE's common areas will remain virtually
weed-free this summer. But homeowners should keep in mind that
they are responsible for maintaining their yards. If there are
weeds out of control on your property, the HOA may deal with
them and send you the bill, plus a 50% service fee. If you have
a hardship that makes it physically or financially impossible to
address weed issues, help is available. Please call Tom Cooke at
(520) 399-0455 to make arrangements.
Pool and Spa Open
At long last, the pool and spa have been re-opened
after significant work was done to them. Thanks to Craig
Surprise for overseeing the work.
Bear Sighting on Santa Gertrudis Lane
Twitchers often flock to the Santa Cruz River south of
Tumacacori to add one more rare species to their bird lists. If
you're considering an early morning hike in the Santa Gertrudis
Lane area, be aware that you may run into a black bear. One was
photographed Saturday June 9 near the railroad tracks.
Nice Monsoon Madness Party!
The rain on Saturday didn't deter our Hospitality
Committee from throwing a great party. Thanks to those who work
hard so we can visit with our neighbors and have a nice meal. We
appreciate what they do.
Not Much Time Left to Schedule Palm Trimming
The EE Board requires palms to be trimmed by June
30th, or the Board will arrange to have it done after
that at cost+ to the property owner of $80.00/tree. Homeowners
can hire any tree service they choose. Our agreement with
Monstrosity Tree Service (520-320-7131) for $55.00/tree will be
honored for everyone in EE.
Happy Anniversary to the MMM
This week's issue of the Monday Morning Memo marks the
13th anniversary of the first issue, dated June 20, 2005. The
first memo went out to 24 people. This week's will go out to 376
recipients. The idea for a weekly neighborhood newsletter was
originated by Bruce Liljegren and the first
editor was Max Perry, who was followed by Tom
Cooke, then the current editors, Kris Bean & Cynthia
Surprise.
For a bit of nostagia, following is the first MMM:
Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Esperanza Estates
Monday Morning Memo.
Today's memo goes out to twenty-four subscribers.
I can't always promise a great deal of news, but I think
this could become a valuable communications tool for our
Association. Thanks to Bruce Liljegren for the suggestion of
this memo.
Your Board has noticed that some of the in-ground trash
cans and lids have seen better days. Gary Chelseth has
researched this topic and discovered that, while replacement
parts are not available, new units can be had here:
Tru-Value Hardware...$127.99. The can insert...$46.99.
So, if you're inclined to replace your trash
can....there you go.
Bruce Liljegren continues to actively pursue a solution
to the nonfunctioning jets in the spa. This is a high
priority and we'll keep you posted on the progress.
A reminder that you need to look at your palm trees (if,
of course, you have palm trees) and have them trimmed, if
needed. Our palm and tall tree trimmer is back from
vacation. (He'll be at my house today.) You can reach Rob
McCord at 721-9472, cell 869-9472. Of course, you can use
anyone else you want.
Don't forget the OLD FASHIONED FOURTH OF JULY PARTY.....
5:30 at the pool ramada and only $5.00 per person.
RSVP to Kay Miller 393-1914 or Scottie Blum 399-0955 or
Nona Sykes 648-0290.
Well, that's it for this week.
Any suggestions for future issues will be gratefully
accepted.
