Beginners Pickleball
From Patty Tracy
Thanks to those who participated in the Beginner Pickleball play last Tuesday and Thursday. We had a good group and everyone seemed to have a great time. This is a great opportunity for those new to the game to come up to the courts and get an opportunity to learn the skills and participate in some play. On Tuesday, Sharon Falor will focus on "Drills & Skills" to help develop beginner player understanding of the game and the physical skills needed to enjoy play. She makes it fun and easy to understand! On Thursdays the focus will be on playing the game with others of your skill level. Sharon and others with experience will be available to assist, give pointers and lots of encouragement. We encourage you to come and play. Enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.
We encourage that during the close Skills and Drills session that you wear your mask. During play masks are optional and during breaks in the rest area please practice good social distancing.

Joe Vitello
We announced a couple of months ago that Joe Vitello, passed away on October 30, 2020 after a brief illness. Since then Joe's wife of 30 years, Mary, has relocated to Tucson. Mary's new address is 6505 N La Cholla Blvd, Apt 317, Tucson, AZ 85741. As a young man, Joe served in the US Army and Coast Guard. After the military he managed a manufacturing plant in Hanover, MA for 20 years and then moved to Delray Beach, FL where he and Mary managed condominiums. In Green Valley he was a member of the Italian Catholic Federation of Our Lady Of The Valley Church and was active in their charitable events. Joe was a vibrant presence in Esperanza Estates, and did maintenance work for many of his friends and neighbors here. Both Joe and Mary are missed.
Caring Connections is a way to share information about EE neighbors who may be experiencing a health crisis or could use some neighborly assistance. With the isolation of Covid, we often don't know what's happening right next door. Our neighbors want to know, so they can help one another. If you know of a situation, please call Judy Hayes, 720-201-9260, or email jkhayes70@gmail.com.
