Enhancement Committee Wants Your Ideas

From Jackie Rautio

The Enhancement Committee has had a good year with three very successful fund raising events . Now we have money to spend on Esperanza Estates for improving and beautifying our community. We have a few ideas of things EE needs, but we'd like to hear your ideas.

We are challenging all of you to share your thoughts for how our earnings could be used to enhance our Esperanza Estates neighborhood. Please share your ideas with Jackie Rautio, Chairperson, (602) 206-3354 or any of our committee members.

Puzzles to Share Lending Library at the EE Pool

From Karen OBrien

There is a new neighborhood lending library for puzzles at the Ramada (pool side). No added storage area needed. The 3rd drawer down on the cabinet between the restrooms at the pool area labeled “Puzzles to share.” 

Take one, give one as you wish. Enjoy! 

Easter Golf Cart Parade

It was a great day for a parade! Our Easter parade was a bit smaller this year, but we had some beautifully decorated golf carts and lots of driveway observers. It's a very fun Esperanza Estates Easter tradition!

Caring Connections

Owl in Silhouette

Our neighborhood is especially fortunate to have Great Horned Owls nesting in our trees. Tammy Kempton caught this interesting shot of an owl in silhouette on top of a cypress. Those owls are quite large. It's remarkable that the cypress holds it's weight at the very top. Thanks for the pic, Tammy!
