Snow Angels Get New Tool Shed at Marshdale
You’ll notice the new tool shed on the #1 Court where the locker used to be. Linda Jacobsen and Pat Bixenman worked with EPRD operations staff to get storage for the specialized snow shovels, brooms and tarps it takes to keep the snow cleared. And with the new combination lock on the gate, not just anybody and their dog will be able to get to it.
RSVP for EPC Spring Fling
Looks like the Spring Fling at El Rancho Brewing is going to be big. Thanks to Gig Blitz and Robin Stahnke for hosting our first social of the season, Wednesday, April 13, 4:30-7 pm. There’ll be lots of apps, beers on tap and house wines to enjoy, plus the company of some of the most interesting people in Evergreen. The more beers you try, the more interesting they get. RSVP here.
Meet the Candidates for EPRD Board of Directors
After you’ve sampled the appetizers and all 14 beers on tap at the EPC Spring Fling, catch an Uber and head over to Buchanan Park Rec Center for the after party. The Evergreen Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Candidate Forum, Wednesday, April 13, 6:30 pm. This is your best bet to hear from all eight candidates for three EPRD Board positions. You should be sobered up by the time it’s over and can drive yourself home.

Lost key looks like this
If You Find a Jeep Key in Your Bag That Isn’t Yours, We Can Explain It to Your Spouse
Last week one of our pickleball players lost his car key at Wulf. He thinks it fell out of his pocket and into somebody’s bag. (Likely story.) Anyway, if you come across it let us know and we’ll get it back to its rightful owner. No questions asked.
