Thirsty Thursday Happy Hour

Happy Hour is back... with a twist! We are starting a new neighborhood happy hour....Thirsty Thursday....this Thursday, February 17, at the Ramada, at 4:00 pm.

Thirsty Thursday will be every other week (next one March 3), and we'll use the no-host approach we used for the former Friday Happy Hours....bring your own beverages, appetizers optional, bring your own utensils. Just come visit, say hello to friends, and enjoy some Arizona afternoon sunshine!!

Because many events happen on Fridays, we're hoping Happy Hour on Thursday (instead of Friday) will be more convenient for folks. Masks will be optional with social distancing per CDC guidelines recommended. 

Pickleball Time Change

From Greg Gramstad

We are expanding play time for Pickleball. The new schedule will be 9 am-1 pm daily to accommodate newer players that need their own time to play.

Please call Greg with any questions or look me up at the courts.

Ramada: Important Reminders

From Gary Rautio

To all users of the Ramada, whether it be for informal gatherings or for more formal meetings, please remember to leave the area as clean and organized as possible. 

That means using the trash and re-cycle containers to clean up the area. Also, please return all cushions to their storage containers, clean off all counters, tables and chairs plus return all chairs and tables to the positions that you found them in.

Please help us all keep the Ramada in a clean and organized fashion. 

THANK YOU!”

Next Board Meeeting

From Dave Sielken

The next EEHOA board meeting, Tuesday, Feb 22, will be held at the Ramada. Masks will not be required as it is an outdoors venue. But individual decisions regarding masking and social distancing will be respected.

Thank Your for Your Food Donations

Thank You to everyone for your food donations. We had a large box to take to the Food Bank this week! As always, your continued support is greatly appreciated.

Sausage Fest

From Kevin Welsh

The Sausage Fest is Back!  Mark your calendar for Tuesday, February 22nd.  The Optimists will be grilling their Famous Italian Sausage at the Ramada starting at 4 pm and serving until 100 have been sold. Cost is $7 for a sausage in a poppy seed bun topped with grilled onions & peppers or sauerkraut and packed in a to-go container with a bag of chips. Bring your own beverage if you want to eat in the Ramada or take it home. All profits go to benefit 'Local Kids' here in Green Valley and Sahuarita.
