They will do a great job keeping everything running smoothly. Shelly Mosser is leading the effort. If any issues or concerns need immediate attention, please reach out to Shelly. I am also available by phone.

Pavers Project

From Tom Aigner

We are still accepting paver donations for park frontages and our many common areas.

We are finding that many homeowners are happy and willing to add the small cost of new pavers to their properties, as this improves the beauty and safety of our neighborhood.

Thanks, Peggy Layton and Chuck Kausler, for getting Excelso one step closer to being completed with the paver project!

Call if you have questions, Tom Aigner at (720) 518-9505.

Message from our Pickleball Court Master.

From Greg Gramstad

Please know that only nonmarking tennis shoes can be worn on the pickleball courts. On April 13th, someone violated this rule and scuffed up two courts.

Please know that only clear water is allowed on the pickleball courts.

Also, a key was taken from the key ring at the Pickelball Courts. I would ask whoever took the key to please return the key to where you took it from.

Please call Greg Gramstad with any questions. 520-303-3505

A Big Thank you to John and Gloria Creagh. They agreed to add pavers along the side of their house to meet up with the pavers from the Mesquite Park project. Giving us one large stretch of pavers down Holgado. Plus, the section in front of their home. A huge addition to our plan!

Canceled: EE Arts and Crafts group meeting April 28th

From Janet Shown

The April 28th class is canceled. Most of the folks who were participating are either gone for the season or unavailable.

With snowbirds drifting out of Green Valley and temperatures rising into triple digits, the EE Arts and Crafts group activities have been terminated for the season. A big THANKS is due to all the participants and instructors who made this season's classes so fun.

If you have ideas for projects next fall and winter, or if you would like to co-facilitate meetings, please contact Janet Shown at jansho@yahoo.com or 720-749-0273. See you all next October!

Hi, I'm the Mailbox Guy.

Source: Debbie Reis

I can help you with all issues involving the Mailbox, Repairs, Painting, and any other issues. If you need a new bulb, I will bring you one.

I can be reached at (657-500-9193). My phone is on from 8 am to 8 pm I work mostly by myself. So, be sure to leave a message, and I will call you back. Two things I would like to mention: If you are a snowbird, please do not shut off the power to the garage (2 Breakers: 1 for the garage door and 1 for plugs). I need access if something goes wrong. All mailboxes, poles, and Lanterns are painted Satin Black. The bulb is an LED 450 warm light. Everything on the pole is home homeowner's responsibility and should be brought up to par before leaving or when needed, if not a snowbird.

Thank you, and I hope I can count on you to help make all the poles look good, match, and have power.
