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
heard yet, our new App “That’s DP” won one
of the top spots with the State Chamber of
Commerce as BEST Social Media Apps. There is a
reason it won and all you have to do is check for
yourself and download it. You will find yourself
using it almost daily because it’s easy and so
much information at your finger tips; including
things to do, where to eat, shop and so much
more.

Remember to support our community by
spending your money here at home so that we
can all enjoy the BEST Deer Park has to offer.

Sincerely,

Troy Cothran, 2017 Board Chairman
