What a Great Halloween Party!

Our Halloween Party last Saturday was hoot! Forty-seven folks attended, many in costume! Jeff Reis emceed, and Sam Simonson got us all laughing with his wonderful jokes. Many thanks to everyone who helped pull it together...donated decorations, helped decorate, provided scrumptious food, and joined in the festivities! We still have the fun spirit in EE!

Board of Directors Candidates

From Ken Lindeman, EEHOA Secretary

We are in search of volunteers to place their name on a ballot to run for a Board of Director position for Esperanza Estates Home Owners Association. 

Everyone should know that we run this neighborhood with volunteers and the Board of Directors is no exception.  People on the Board love this neighborhood and do what is necessary to make this a “super” neighborhood for everyone that lives here. We have 350 homes and at least that many people that can volunteer to be on the board. 

We have a budget of $130,000.00 to manage and distribute in the best interests of the neighborhood. It’s important that decisions to manage this money are made by members of the neighborhood rather than an outside organization hired to manage our HOA. As head of our nominating committee, I implore everyone to consider taking a turn in participating in the management of our HOA. Please call me, Ken Lindeman at 970-232-4129 if you are interested. Thank you.

Food Bank Donations

From Sandy LaVoi

Just a reminder to everyone to drop off non-perishable food donations at the Ramada for the Food Bank. Your past donations have been greatly appreciated. Now as we head into the Holidays, food donations are needed more then ever. Thanks in advance for your help and generosity.

Thank You Note from Sam Simonson

I don't understand how a cemetery can raise it's prices and blame it on the cost of living!
