Food Pantry Bin
We are approaching the time when many of our friends will be returning to their summer homes for a few months. If you have non-perishable food that you want to clean out before you leave, we have a Food Pantry Bin at the Ramada where you can drop those off. Those items are delivered to the Green Valley Food Bank.

EE Has Automated External Defibrillators (AED)
We have two Automated External Defibrillators (AED).
One is located in the Pool Area outside the Men's Bathroom and the other is at the Pickleball Courts in the shaded area by the court entrance. An AED is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It is a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
If a person is found to be collapsed and unresponsive, it is recommended that Compression-only CPR is begun immediately and the AED is employed to analyze heart rhythm and, if necessary, deliver a shock.
The use of the AED is clearly set out on an Instruction Card and reinforced with Voice Commands, but we would encourage our residents to familiarize themselves with Compression-only CPR and the use of an AED by attending a training course. GVR schedules free courses at Desert Hills Center, and we understand that the courses are open to persons who are not GVR members.
Doug Syme (EE Board Member) has taken over a monthly check of the AED units (previously among Craig Surprise's many gifts to EEHOA).
Doug would like to compile a list of EEHOA members who have taken a CPR/AED course. Please let him know at dougsyme@verizon.net.

CANCELED....St. Patrick's Day Baked Potato Bar
In keeping with current guidelines to avoid large gatherings in order to contain the Coronavirus, the Hospitality Committee has decided to
cancel our St. Patrick's Day Potato Bar on Tuesday, March 17th.
This was a difficult decision to make, but we feel it is the right one for our EE neighborhood. Thank you for your understanding.
