DECA Fall Newsletter 2013
What is DECA?
Down East Civic Association is a
long-standing neighborhood group which raises monies for various events
throughout the year. Our fees are
virtually non-existent, but our events are awesome!!Want to help, contact:
kristenklughcannella@gmail.com.
Opportunity: Treasurer
DECA has recently shifted various roles
and responsibilities. We are in need of
a treasurer who can manage the accounts and dues as well as pay outs for
events.
Opportunity: Helping
Hands
Because our neighborhood has changed
greatly in the past year, we are looking for people to share their talents by
volunteering in the neighborhood association.
Can you write? Organize? Work with children? We could use your help!
Unless
the weather is completely inclement, Trick or Treat will occur on 10/31 from
6-8 PM. Bring a flashlight, get your
‘boo’ on and be safe!

Please read: Important DECA announcement
Good morning and Happy Weekend to you all!
Karen Bevec has a note below to share with us all this morning. She has done an admirable (not to mention tough and, at times, thankless) job of keeping us all engaged through the years with promoting neighborhood events and the spirit of "community". If you've ever enjoyed attending an event, appreciated the holiday luminaries, or in any other way been thankful for our neighborhood's sense of community, I'll encourage you to express your thanks to her at mcbevec@comcast.net.
Kristen Cannella has shown equal enthusiasm from participating in events to opening her house to host neighborhood gatherings and we welcome and look forward to her involvement.
Read on for all the details and please do not forget to RSVP for the Fall Fest scheduled for September 28. Here's a link back to the event announcement in case you missed it.
Good morning DECA Neighbors,
It is with regret that I am informing you of my decision to resign my position as DECA President.
My other commitments have become too great for me to fulfill the requirements of my position. I feel it's best for me to make room for someone with time and energy to continue the DECA tradition. I have had a great 7 years, made good friends, and my kids will have great memories of their childhoods and neighbors.
Kristen Cannella will be stepping up to the plate but will need additional team players to continue the many successful events our community offers. In the spirit of "community", please feel free to contact her at kristenklughcannella@gmail.com with any of your own fresh ideas for promoting neighborhood involvement and/or if you'd be interested in being part of the board/volunteers that will be needed to continue these efforts going forward.
I know Kristen will continue the tradition with new and fresh ideas. Please welcome her and continue to support. DECA is what you make it!
Thank you!

Fall Fest returns September 28
Fall Fest is back again (how hard is it to believe that the end of summer is upon us already?!) and the date has been set for Saturday, September 28. We trust that all have been doing well and are getting back into the swing of things with kids back to school and everything that the fall season brings.
This has always been one of the most popular neighborhood events of the year and we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible. We have several new families that have joined the neighborhood and we hope to see them out at Fall Fest to get to know them better.
It will be held at our park at the end of Winding Way from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Food will be brought in from Anthony's in Malvern and we ask that everyone bring a dessert to share.
Not only will this be a great chance to see your neighbors after a summer of busyness and vacations, etc., but there will also be a drawing for a gift basket for one lucky person to go home with.
All we ask at this point is for an RSVP so that we can properly plan for the food order.
Please RSVP by Friday, September 13. And, as always, if you have suggestions of how to make Fall Fest (or any events) even better, please feel free to drop an e-mail to us at decainfo@gmail.com.

Neighborhood clean-up in honor of MLK Day
As was done last year, in celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, we thought it would be a good idea to clean up our neighborhood.
Please meet at the entrance of the Hillside Loop on Monday at 1:00 pm, if you are interested in joining us. (Weather permitting.) Please bring garbage bags and gloves.
Last year we had a pretty good turn out. Hope to see you out there!

Wine & Cheese Winter Social is coming
We're planning on February 2, 2013 so mark the date.
More details will be forthcoming but for now we are asking for two things:
1) an RSVP if you intend to come
2) a volunteer house to host the event
As the volunteer house, you will be offering your home to your neighbors for the event. All food and beverage will be provided by a combination of DECA and attendees.
We are also considering the option of a separate, tutored tasting during the evening. If anyone has experience doing something like this, let us know so that we can consider our options.
This is always a popular event to help get through the dark and cold days of winter, so we look forward to hearing from you and seeing you on February 2.
Please RSVP and/or offer up your house for the event by sending an e-mail to decainfo@gmail.com
