Eldorado at Santa Fe

Santa Fe County Clerk, Valerie Espinoza, wants to remind Democratic and Republican voters that they do not need to wait until Election Day (June 5, 2012) to vote in the Primary Election. They can vote now.

The ECIA is proud to announce that resident,  John Parker, has been chosen as the 2012 Eldorado Resident of the Year.  John has been an active member of the Eldorado Community for the past six years and his contributions to the community are numerous and lasting.    John serves actively on two ECIA committees, as the Chair of the Conservation Committee and as an active member of the Architectural Committee.

In his role as Conservation Committee Chair,  John has been a vital member and has, for the past 4 years, helped to direct this  committee towards achieving its lofty goals of oversight and management of the Eldorado Community Preserve and Greenbelts.  With these preserve areas accounting for over 5000 acres of Eldorado’s Common lands, this is no small task and John has always been a guiding force in the committee’s work of working to maintain the trails and manage these lands.   One most notable achievement of recent was the 2011 re-routing of Trail 101 with an improved, scenic and well built new route.  Many residents who regularly walk this trail can thank John for its ecologically sustainable design, moderate grades  and natural beauty.

Congratulations to our new Board Members, Jan Deligans and Frank Schober!
