Regalo Alleyway Project

From Cyndie Alto

On Monday, 10/25/2021, D & T Excavation will start work on the Regalo Alleyway Project. Work will occur directly behind Regalo properties of 793, 787, 781 & 775, but I am sure there will be noise heard from anyone living on either side of the alley on Regalo & Napa east of Portillo. This project will help direct water run off down the middle of the alley instead of down one side of the alley.

Gardeners

From Mary Harp

The Gardeners will meet on Tuesday, October 26, from 9:00 until approx. 10:30 a.m. at Portillo Bridge Park. Bring tools for clean up and weeding at the Park and along the common area to the corner of Napa and Portillo.

EE Gardeners Start Plants

From Cyndie Alto

On Tuesday, 10/19/2021 the Gardeners took as many plant starts as possible and replanted them for future projects or maybe even a plant sale in the future. We were able to pot 90 plants. We figure this will save the HOA at least $900.

Thank you to everyone who donated time, pots, plants and Rod and Mary for offering their home for a potting party.

We are still taking in empty pots or plants that you would like to repurpose for a good cause.

Good To Know

10-Digit Dialing is Here!

Thanks for the reminder Craig Surprise

Source: Green Valley News

Effective yesterday, October 24, you must dial 10 digits for all local calls in the 520 area code. If you dial seven digits, it won’t go through and you’ll get a recording.

This is related to a nation wide deployment of a three-digit number to reach the National Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Crisis Lifeline: 988. It works just like 911 — if you are having a mental health crisis, you will dial 988. But before that can be implemented, dozens of area codes around the nation have to move to 10-digit dialing. (Note: This crisis line number is not in effect yet. For now, dial 1-800-273-8255 to reach the National Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Crisis Lifeline.) You can read more about it in the Green Valley News.

Dispatch Health

From Barbara Stockwell

Dispatch Health provides same-day medical care in your home, and is now available in Green Valley. For non-life threatening injuries and illnesses, call 520-442-2269 or read about the service online at DispatchHealth.com.

The service is available 7 days a week, including holidays, 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. They claim to be lower cost than an ER visit, and accept most health insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicare Advantage.

Note: Normally MMM does not advertise businesses in the Monday Morning Memo. This was presented at the last EEHOA Board meeting. MMM made an exception this time, because this appears to be a service that may be beneficial to our residents.
