Consider Running for the DCCOA Board of Directors

The terms of three DCCOA Board members will expire this year, leaving vacancies that must be filled. Please do your part to maintain our community standards by considering running for the Board, or encouraging a neighbor to run.

The Board consists of nine members. Three of these nine positions will reach the end of their three-year terms, and replacements will be elected at the DCCOA annual meeting in December.

If elected, you will serve a three-year term. Your duties will include attending the monthly association meetings, and an occasional special meeting. Most members also serve as liaisons to standing committees of the association and attend those meetings. In addition, members may be asked to serve on special projects. Resumes are needed by October 1, so that ballots, resumes and proxies can be mailed out in early November, and profiles can be included in the November newsletter.

If you are considering running for the DCCOA Board, please prepare a brief personal statement with your background and qualifications, and reasons for wanting to run. For more information contact Danny Becton, danny@thebectons.us, 519-1276, or any Board member.

Deercreek Home and Garden Club
Tree Sale

In 1999 the Garden Club decided to help “green up” Deercreek by encouraging our neighbors to invest in trees, and we began our Tree Program.   The response has been enthusiastic and has led to the planting of over 300 trees, all which have grown larger and more beautiful each year.  Over 70 memorial trees have been planted on Common Grounds for all of us to enjoy.
 
Trees produce oxygen, help dry out soggy soil and attract songbirds.  Shaded streets last longer and are of course much more pleasant for walkers, runners and cyclists. 
 
This fall we are again offering you the opportunity to purchase one or more trees through our discount program.  As in past years, Davey Tree Experts, a large local nursery, will supply, plant and guarantee quality trees at a group price.  With the agreement of the Architectural Review Board, we will help you select the best place to have your tree(s) planted, following guidelines of the city of Jacksonville and the National Society of Arbor culturists.

The View August 2010

7732 Wartermark Lane: the Florida summer heat hasn't been kind to most of our region's flowers but these Agapanthus have been thriving.

 This lovely view belonging to Larry Shelton in Edgewater is surrounded by Sagos, Verbenas, Loropetalum and wild Petunias.
