Special Board Meeting

to Discuss Pool Repairs

Date: Tuesday, January 30

Time: 9:00 am

Location: EE Ramada

Purpose: Selection and approval of a bid to replaster the pool and renew the cool decking around the pool.

All Board meetings are open to the Homeowners.

Gardeners

From Mary Harp

The Gardeners will meet at 10:00 am on Tuesday morning, January 30th, along Esperanza east of Portillo. Bring tools for pruning, weeding and clean-up. New members are always welcome to join us. Call Rod Harp at 520.329.9103 with any questions.

Thirsty Thursday

Thirsty Thursday happy hour is this week on Thursday, February 1, at 4 pm at the Ramada. Thirsty Thursday is a no-host event, so everyone brings their own beverages. It's not necessary to bring food, but of course snacks are always welcome. Most importantly, bring yourselves on over to the Ramada for a fun and friendly visit. Hope to see you there!

Cribbage??

From Hugh Rhine

Santa gave me a nice new travel cribbage board. Knowing that I hadn't played for a long time, he even included instructions as a reminder. Now I wonder if there may be others interested in playing some friendly cribbage? You can reach me most easily by email at Hugh.rhine@comcast.net.

Yoga Classes Resume

From Patty Adler

Namaste to all the Esperanza yogi’s out there.

Let’s try this again now that the mornings are warming up a bit.

Chair yoga will begin at the Ramada Tuesday February 6th thru February 27th at 9:30AM. Please bring a yoga mat, 2 yoga blocks, yoga strap (or stretch band) and a sturdy folding chair if you have one. I have 11 folding chairs for class if you do not have a folding chair. I changed the chair yoga to Tuesday’s because some of you may want to attend the pool exercise class on Wednesday’s.

I am also offering a Hatha Vinyasa mat based yoga class starting Thursday February 8th thru February 29th at 9:30AM at our Esperanza Ramada.

Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions at 303-570-3159

My classes are free to Esperanza resident’s and I teach for donation’s.

Water Therapy Class

From Sharon Falor

Beginning February 7th and continuing until April 3rd, I will be offering a Water Therapy class from 9:30 to 10:30 am, at the EE pool. This class will assist people recovering from replacement surgeries, struggling with balance related issues, or those having difficulty remaining active due to chronic conditions. After suffering a severe injury last winter, I started water therapy, and I have enjoyed a full recovery. Please join me for our first, H20 PT class on February 7th at 9:30. It will be fun, yet aerobically challenging. It will give you the confidence to move more freely.

Take a Dip! Coach

Craft Group, First Meeting Feb 8th

From Bernie Olson

The EE Craft Group will start up on Feb 8th at 1:00 at the Ramada. Mark your calendars!

SOUPer Thursday

Is A Big Success

From Robin Lockwood and Debbie Ries

The Hospitality Committee thanks you!

We are so grateful for the support that our EE community showed us by making our SOUPer THURSDAY event so successful on Thursday evening. We served an almost record breaking 120 meals. The funds we raised for this event will go a long way in helping us to put on our future events and to keep our ticket prices low (or free in some instances).

Thank you also to the 18 team members contributed the wonderful variety of delicious soups for you all to try, and then worked so hard to make the event a wonderful, fun night with our EE neighbors.

Thanks to John Nesavich for the pictures.
