Beautification Committee: Ms. Dorothy mentioned we are currently looking for bids on mulch, crushed stone and railroad ties to maintain the beauty of the park.  Derrick offered to get prices for mulch and lime stone from the village.  And he also asked if we know of any one that would remove and install the old R.R. ties once the new ones arrived.  PTL did the work initially, so we may want to consider asking them again.  But Lazette mentioned we would ask those questions of the other companies while we are looking for the bids. No current update on the quitclaim deed that was issued to the HOA for a small portion of land behind the houses that is in front of the park. Welcome Committee: No new residents since the last family moved in last year. Activities Committee: Lazette mentioned next scheduled activity is skating; no date has been selected however a flyer will be sent out to determine the number of families that are interested.  Debra Davis suggested not choosing a weekend date because of the extra children that will be present at the skating rink.  The other residents also recommended roller skating instead of ice skating.   Mary informed the group that all of the officers have new email addresses and several business references have been added to our referral page:   DND Construction, Chuck’s Home Repair, Derrick also wants to add JMJ Body Repair and Cato Construction Men’s Club: No Report Old Business: The Newsletter is back, everyone should have received theirs yesterday in the mail. There will be a notice / amendment to the news letter for the oversight of the Sandoval family for the Light up Night Article. New Business: Lazette referred to article in Newsletter “Curb your Dog” and also mentioned the concerns of some of the neighbors in 1st phase about a dog running loose.  And the police have come out several times to address the issue.  No update was available because the person who made the complaint was not at the meeting. Lazette mentioned DCHOA is looking for volunteers for several different activities and committees. Derrick mentioned more voter registrars are available so we can get more people registered to vote.  Also suggested that Deer Creek Estates should be more involved in District 206 because 37% of out tax dollars go to the distrist and the schools. Derrick asked if we would be hosting an Election Forum for all of the trustees that will be running for office this year.  They are Derrick Burgess, Dave Hanks, Ed Myers and Francine Anderson.  A letter will be drafted and sent out to each candidate asking them to join us during our DCHOA meeting schedule for 4/4/07.
