Dear Neighbors,
Monday your board met once again, the first time since May. Four of us were able to attend, with Mike Cochran having to miss due to health issues. We wish Mike all the best for his recovery!
Board meetings for the rest of 2024 are scheduled for Room 102 at Desert Hills Lutheran Church (2150 S. Camino del Sol). I hope you will all consider joining us at least once! Next month (October 21st) would be a good time to join us as we're having two guests, Debbie Kenyon and David McAllister-Romo from the Green Valley Council. They will be speaking about the services provided by GVC and the resources available for HOAs, basically what our membership fee each year goes towards. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
Two decisions that were postponed until October's meeting concern our trash/recycle contract and also our maintenance contract. We have received several bids for both jobs, but are still waiting on one or two more, so those decisions will come in October.
Our first social event of the season is scheduled for next month, Thursday, October 17th, from 4-6pm. It will be our annual Block Party held in the Canyon Place cul-de-sac. Pin-Up Pastries/BBQ food truck will be available along with Ken Daulton on his guitar supplying music and entertainment. Everyone should bring their own chairs and if you have extras, please bring them along as some people have trouble hauling them the distance. The Social Committee is also looking for folding tables, so if you have any you could offer, please call Rose Philbee (520-393-1184) to arrange a pick-up. Mary Roche also offered her long driveway nearby for people to park their cars at 981 W Desert Canyon Place. Meanwhile, Lorna is busy working on the plans for our Holiday Party to be held Tuesday, December 3rd, at the Desert Hills Social Center auditorium. Put them both on your calendar!
In my last newsletter I mentioned how the weeds were taking over both our common area and also many home-owner front yards. The common areas have now all been sprayed by our maintenance volunteers, so those weeds should be dying and will be cleaned up with the next round of Mochomo's crew. As for private front yards, many of you heard my call, and I really appreciate how you've cleaned up your yards. If you've yet to get this done, please take this as your second and final notice before all your neighbors start returning and maybe start complaining?? We try to be the best-kept HOA in Green Valley, but we all have to work together! :-)
Sincerely,
Ruth

Hi everyone! Thanks to all who helped with meals for Bob and Novella. I believe it truly helped them as they got through that rough patch. We are going to begin phasing out the meals. It's okay if you want to keep your date and meal as planned. There are 8 more meals that are planned and then I think it prudent to save our culinary skills for our next neighbor in need.
