Howdy Residents of Deer Run!
We had another successful Deer Run Parade of Garage Sales. There was quite the car parade on our cul-de-sac and some happy neighbours because of the great response.
As you may or may not know, Deer Run has a lot of events for all ages.
These events do not happen without participation and volunteering from community members. Many hands make the task easier.
Speaking of events, Stampede is coming early to Deer Run, come for breakfast on June 22 from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. We will need more volunteers to make the event happen, as well as our Deer Run community members and their families to come out and have fun. Last year we had over 1,100 visitors, and we expect this year to be even better. There will be wagon rides, live music and line dancing, games for the whole family, live interactive games, bouncy castles, and face painting for the kids. Oh, we might want to mention there will be breakfast served too, and you guessed it, Spolumbos sausages are already ordered! Invite friends and family to come to the best community event in Calgary! Volunteers like you make it great. Go to deerruncalgary.com/stampede to sign up to help. If you can’t volunteer, we look forward to serving you breakfast.
Also coming soon: Ball Tournament August 16 to 18 and the Community Cleanup Saturday, September 21.
This summer, the daycare rooms will be renovated and get special pint-sized bathrooms. The 70s decor was looking worn, and bathroom breaks for the little ones have been an exercise in patience. Puddles in the main bathroom were also an issue. Come fall, everything will be shiny and new.
On behalf of the board, I would like to invite anyone interested to come to a board meeting and see what goes on. We are always looking for volunteers to help with green thumb projects, accounting, and project management, as well as members with people skills, or just a strong desire to learn something new. The federation of Calgary Communities offers free courses to community board members to sharpen their skills in community organization.
You can always come by and say hello to our Centre Manager Rob Garnett and let him know you want to help make a difference.
