Thanks Gloria Creagh

Esperanza Estates Home and Garden Tour Thank You

Logo designed by EE resident, Jolene Hartje

The Enhancement Committee held a very successful Home and Garden Tour last Sunday, April 6th. Over 100 people toured the nine homes and enjoyed delicious Costco cake, lemonade, and coffee after the event.

The winner of the beautiful ceramic bowl was Linda Symes, who is currently vacationing in Equador.

The Committee would like to give extra thanks not only to our generous homeowners but also to special contributors Don and Jolene Hartje and Jodi Cable. We also believe our sales total rose after each edition of the Monday Morning Memo. So, thank you, Judy Hayes and John Nesavich.

Needless to say, the profits from this event will be spent wisely by the Enhancement Committee. Our only goal is to improve our unique and friendly

corner of GreenValley.

HOSPITALITY TEAM THANKS THE EE COMMUNITY

from Robin Lockwood and Debbie Ries

The Hospitality Team would like to thank all of the EE residents who supported us for our "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME" event last Tuesday. It was so fun, and we fed a record-breaking crowd!

As you most likely know, the Hospitality Team is in no way supported by your HOA fees. We are a self-supporting group, and the money you pay for your meals goes to purchase everything needed for an event, including the food, plates, cups, utensils, and beverages. Without your attendance and support, we wouldn't be able to offer these fun events once a month!!!

We would also like to thank the Optimist Club of Green Valley for allowing us to use their grill trailer. A lot of appreciation goes to the Optimists that live in EE who pitched in to grill for us!! We couldn't have done this without you!!!

AFTERNOON WATER AEROBICS

From Robin Lockwood, Penny Hukulac, and Zell Higgins:

Afternoon Water Aerobics classes are now concluded for this season. We thank all who participated! It was fun and a great exercise.
