Good deeds

Dear Editor:

No good deed goes unpunished! This is what we are looking at here.

The Deerfield Beach mayor recognized a person in the community who is selfless in administering to the needs of others (sick and dying, lonely people, feeding the hungry, teaching the young to be good citizens, supporting other churches and schools that need support)– doing all this and battling cancer himself!

The mayor indeed recognized this man and gave him a little perk. There are more men and women in Deerfield who deserve a perk also. Thank you, mayor, for recognizing Father Dalton!

Hello members and friends of DBICA

Dear Editor:

Hope everyone had a great summer and welcome back to all our island snowbird members.

Since we have a District 1 meeting [See pg 1] there will be no official Deerfield Beach Island Community Association (DBICA) meeting in October.

Instead, if you could make the Oct. 29 District 1 meeting that would be great! DBICA will be presenting a check to the Deerfield Beach Parks and Recreation Dept. for 3 exercise fitness stations along the south beach area. If all goes well, the stations should be installed by end of the year with signage thanking our association. Hope all can make the meeting!

Our first DBICA meeting will be on Nov. 13.

Following are the dates for the balance of the meetings during the season. (We will not always be meeting on the third Thursday this year, in order to obtain the church meeting room and a 7 p.m. time slot.) 2014-2015 DBICA Meeting Dates 11/13,12/11,1/22,2/26,3/26,4/23.

We will be meeting at the Community Presbyterian Church (address below) at 7 p.m.

Community Presbyterian Church

1920 SE 4 St.

Deerfield Beach, FL 33441

Hope all can attend with great ideas on how to improve our island living. See you soon
