The Chairman’s
                        Comments





        WOW, So where do we start as we reflect on the past few months? We
        wrapped up a very successful 4th of July celebration recognizing the
        125th anniversary of the City of Deer Park. As you know, it was more
        than just fun and games and a big fireworks display to wrap things up.
        We were honored to have with us the great grandchildren of Simeon
        West, the founder of Deer Park. It was a special time for them to see
        where some of their roots originated from; as well as to see and hear
        them tell stories from what had been passed down to them about their
        great grandfather Simeon.

        Then, the previous week we celebrated our Deer Park HS State
        Champions Boys Baseball Team with a parade down Center Street and
        a community celebration at the high school with about 500 fans in
        attendance. There were local and state officials, coaches, past DPHS ballplayers from other state playoff
        teams and even had our very own Astro/Yankee Andy Pettitte speaking and in attendance. What a GREAT
        evening for our state champs, school district and the City of Deer Park.

        We can also add to the list of accomplishments our morning membership meeting events, which was a first
        because we turned it into a breakfast networking meeting at Luby’s. For our first few meetings of its kind it
        was very successful. Since we had so many positive comments about the meeting format, we will be having
                                                                   more membership breakfast meetings in our near
                                                                   future.


                                                                   Now onto other important news, If you haven’t
