The Russians Are Coming!
Actually they came in 1966 when this winner of the Golden Globe award for Best Comedy was released. When a Soviet sub gets stuck off the coast of New England the Cold War goes from bad to mirth.  The crew pretend to be Norwegian sailors and enlist locals to help them get moving again. Enjoy a laugh with Alan Arkin, Jonathan Winters, Carl Reiner, Brian Keith and hosts Jane & Eric Ellingson.  Film begins at 7:15 pm on Wednesday at the Ramada. 

Firing up for the Fourth!
Plans are set for the Independence Day celebration at the Ramada. Bring five pictures of George Washington for your dinner or one picture of Alexander Hamilton for you and a partner.  (That's $5 or $10 for those of you who only use debit cards.) Be there at 4:30 pm on Monday, July 4th for drinks followed by sloppy joes, chips, cole slaw and whatever assortment of desserts arrive with participants.

Thanks Ben!
EE's Board unanimously agreed to thank board secretary Ben Sheffield for his devotion to the completion of the new storage shed.  Ben constantly coordinated contractors and artfully arranged inspections to keep the project humming.  An introductory card with Ben's picture on it will be sent to his wife Mona to help him transition back to the home-front. 

Wonder Who's Watering?
Wonder who keeps our new plantings going when the dry heat of June withers the flora in your yard?  Dave Sielken has been joined by new volunteer Patti Purcell on the Tillie the Tank Team.  The two of them take turns watering plantings in EE to keep them flourishing.  Betty and Jerry Payne have been keeping an eye on the watering system that supports newly planted trees and bushes in Esperanza (Flag/Snake) Park.  A big thank-you to these EE neighbors for their dedication.
