Two of our busiest activists with the Esperanza Enhancement Team, Lance and Tess Ewing, have reported they will return for the winter season on October 10^th. As the Enhancement Team returns over the next couple of months, just watch things begin to happen. They and our Hospitality Committee have a lot of plans to make Sunset Ramada more comfortable and user friendly. And they undoubtedly have a lot of other projects as well--they always do.

Please remember to bring your pop-tops to the collection receptacle at the Ramada, where they will be donated to assist the Ronald McDonald children’s charity.

There have been some reports about rowdy conduct by guests at the pool. Remember, you as a resident are responsible for the conduct of your guests, and the pool rules are clearly posted. Nude swimming, although not specifically proscribed, is discouragedJ ! Violators will be asked to leave the pool. Enough said.

The spotlight on the Sunset Ramada sign at the corner of Ensalmo and Portillo, which was operating 24 hours a day due to a broken sensor, has been repaired, and now comes on only at dark as it was designed to do.

Have a good week. Nearly two inches of new rain this past week, as our monsoon winds down.
