Flag Etiquette
Most of us learned about Flag Etiquette when we were in grade school. Were you ever the Flag Monitor and had to put up the Flag in the morning and take it down and fold it in a triangle when school was out? That had to be at least 60 years ago, maybe a small refresher is timely. With Memorial Day, we're noticing that some of us
have not been observing the proper etiquette for flying the flag. Primarily, we should take the Flag down at night or light it if it is left up through the night. Also, if it is not an "all weather" Flag, it should not be flown in the rain. July 4th is coming in a few weeks....good time for a reminder.

Tall Palms...2 Weeks to Get Them Trimmed
Are you sick of hearing about needing to have those pesky tall palms trimmed? Nag, nag, nag....right? Well, the good news is that you only have to hear about this for two more weeks. The bad news is that if they aren't trimmed by June 30, the EEHOA will do it for you for a higher price ($80 each), or you can have Monstrosity Tree Service, 520-230-7131, do it for $70/tree. Thanks to everyone who has had it done...seeing more and more of those carrot top trees in the neighborhood. Let Cyndie Alto know, 509-881-7569, if you have questions.

Canasta and/or Dominos Anyone?
Peggy Coleman is moving to EE from Quail Creek at the end of this month. Peggy is already a "spark plug" and looking forward to getting involved in our neighborhood. She is l
ooking to start a Ponytail Canasta Group to play one day a week. Need a group of no more than 6 people, and she's willing to teach you if you haven't played Canasta before. She's also interested in starting a Mexican Train group. We can play up to 6 people for that game as well. Mexican Train is a very easy game to learn!
Call Peggy if you are interested
at 916 765-3079. Great ideas for these hot summer days!

COVID-19 Related Malicious Apps
Our friend, Craig Surprise, shared this information about COVID-19 related malicious apps. Craig comments, "As the Coronavirus continues to infect more people, there is now a collection of computer-related 'bad' programs that are trying to get themselves installed on PCs." This from Check Point...
Several coronavirus-themed apps, often those offering disease-related information and help for users, have been found to be fraudulent, as they contain dangerous malware.
Researchers from Check Point, ZoneAlarm's parent company, discovered 16 different malicious apps downloaded from coronavirus sites, all masquerading as legitimate coronavirus apps.
Click here to read the full story with information on specific apps.

We should take our clothes out of the closet and air them regularly. Recent studies show that clothes kept in closets during lock down will shrink.
