General Manager's Corner
New Pool Management
The YMCA will return, after a three year absence, to manage the pool this year. The swimming pool and splash park are scheduled to open in May. A copy of the rules and regulations for the Deer Creek pool and splash park are available by clicking here.
Swim Lessons
Again, this year swim lessons will be offered in several sessions based on age and abilities.
If you are interested, please attend a meeting and sign-up at the clubhouse on April 14th.
Adult Swim Lane
As with last year, a lap lane will be available at all times for adult swim only (you must be 18 years old to use). We also purchased a back-up motor to minimize down time if the existing one should break.
Deer Creek Crawfish
I would like to make a personal appeal and encourage you to sign up for the Deer Creek Crawfish swim team. They had a very successful season last year; they won first place in the Small Team Category. This is a great opportunity to have fun and improve your skills.
Unauthorized Access to Amenities
As a reminder to our residents, please DO NOT OPEN the doors/gates, except for your guest, to allow access to Deer Creek amenities (fitness center, tennis courts, and pool). Residents authorized to use the facilities will have an access card. Allowing unauthorized personnel access provides them free use of amenities that your association dues support. Remember, when you invite a guest to use the amenities you must remain with them at all times. Guests are defined as anyone other than a Member of the Deer Creek Homeowners’ Association, Inc. And by no means should you allow anyone to use your access card.
Facelift for Clubhouse
If you had an opportunity to visit the clubhouse recently you may have noticed changes to the interior. Over the past year, the appliances and carpeting have been replaced and the interior painted. We hope this facelift will provide a nicer place to host your private functions.
Spring Has Arrived in Deer Creek
As spring arrives, we get beautiful weather and time to enjoy the outdoors—walking trails, tennis courts and picnic tables. On the other hand, we get to refurbish the lawn equipment and tackle the weeds and lawns. Take advantage of the Deer Creek Neighborhood Club’s community spring yard sale to get rid of those unused items in your closets and garage. This is a great opportunity to clean out the garage and make room for the car. All residents are invited and encouraged to participate. See the specific details about the yard sale in this newsletter.
DeerCreekHomeowners.net
The HOA website, www.deercreekhomeowners.net, is a great source for keeping up with what is happening in the community. It is also another way for to communicate with the Deer Creek homeowners. If you have suggestions on how we can improve the community or programs please call the Information Center.

Do You Have Your Deer Creek
Access Card?
If you are new to Deer Creek and do not have a keycard, please make arrangements to stop by the Deer Creek Information Center.
How to Get a Keycard
Homeowners must provide proof of residency, valid photo identification, and complete a registration form and amenity usage agreement before a keycard will be issued. Keycards are available for pickup at the Deer Creek Information Center Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Homeowners who have keycards must continue to pay homeowners’ dues in a timely manner to keep the cards valid. Only homeowners with valid cards will be granted access to the Deer Creek amenities.
If You Lose Your Keycard
The keycard system provides added security to the amenities while providing a log of when each homeowner enters and exits the amenities. If you lose a keycard, please report the lost card to the Information Center as soon as possible so that the card can be disabled. Lost keycards that are reported to the Information Center will be deactivated to insure that those keycards are not utilized by someone other than the Member who was assigned the card(s). Replacement cards are issued at a cost of $10.00 per card.
If You Find a Keycard
If you have found a keycard, please return it to the Information Center so we may return it to its owner.
The Deer Creek Neighbors Club has been formed and had its kick-off event on (a chilly!) January 15th. More than two dozen Deer Creek neighbors got together and had a great time enjoying a rousing game of bingo and lots of sweet goodies to eat!
