Pickelball Party and New Pickelball Sign

From John Nesavich



The Pickelball Party at the Ramada, Saturday the 19th was a roaring success! Friendships were renewed and new ones made. A Pickelball paddle, signed by Pickleball players, was presented to Kay and Charlie Bonham. Kay and Charlie are moving away from Green Valley. We will miss them and wish them good luck in their move.

The Pickelball Courts have been renamed, Max Perry Courts, in memory of former resident, Max Perry, who was very active in Esperanza Estates and was instrumental is the construction of our current new Pickleball Courts. The courts have a new sign recognizing Max for all his great contributions.

From Bernie Olson

This week we will be working on the no-sew quilted ornaments that we began last week. I will also bring the materials for the felted rocks that we did a few weeks ago. Bring a rock, measuring approximately 2x3, if you plan to make one.

If you missed last week, you are welcome to join us anyway. Here's the process for the quilted ornaments.....the first week we will cut our fabrics into 2 1/2 inch squares. You can purchase whatever fabric you want. Jelly roll fabrics work great because they are the right size in width. Bring a cutting mat and rotary cutter if you have them. 

Supply list:

3” styrofoam ball. Can buy in packs of 6.

Flat head stick pins(will need approx) 200 per ball. They stay in the ball.

Fabric- need 3 colors. 1st color cut into 8 squares, 2nd and 3rd are cut into 16 squares each.

Ribbon for hanger if needed. Glue gun will be needed for this part.

Hope you can join us! Call Bernie with questions, 920-254-9277.

Easter Parade, April 17

From Donna Shay

It will soon be Easter, and we are planning our Annual EE Easter Parade for Sunday, April 17, 2 pm (participants line up at 1:45). The Parade will be followed by an Easter Dessert Gathering at the Ramada for everyone....both parade participants and observers.

We've had both golf carts and alternative vehicles (motorcycles, cool cars, bicycles, etc.) in the parade. Come to think of it, a parade participant could even be a fast-walker! The point is to spread Easter Blessings and Cheer thoughout our neighborhood.

The Easter Dessert Gathering following the Parade will be a No-Host type of event....BYOB, bring a dessert to share (or not), and bring your own eating utensils. All are Welcome!!

So, start planning your festive Easter decorations for your vehicles, and your Easter duds and Easter bonnets! Mark your calendar for April 17....it will be a blast!

From Judy Hayes

I am thrilled that John Nesavich has gratiously volunteered to help with preparing the Monday Morning Memo. Initially, John is learning Constant Contact, the app we use to publish the MMM. He's a quick study, and soon he'll be editing content along with me. I also want to give a shout-out to Lynn Theder, our proofreader, and Linda Sielken, who posts the MMM at the Ramada and delivers copies to a few residents. Greatly appreciate everyone's help!
