Hey Neighbors,

If have not noticed yet, the Deer Park newsletter has not reached your house yet. We are so sorry for any inconvenience but the printer has been down at our good friend's The Neighborhood Center. They greatly apologize and hope to have our newsletters printed some time next week. We understand  these things happen but no fret, the good news is that you can click here to read, download, and or print it now. 

You could also come and get a color copy at next week's neighborhood gathering ...
