The homeowners association needs new street representatives to replace outgoing street representatives on Cedarvue, Quail Hill, and Hollow Tree / Merry Oak / Turnberry. Being a street representative is a good way to be more involved in neighborhood activities, to meet people from across the neighborhood, and to do something nice for the neighborhood. If you live on one of these streets, please consider volunteering your time. If you think that you might be interested, or just want to know a little more, please contact your street representative, or homeowners association President Judith Browne.

The homeowners association is offering a new membership option this year - unlisted email addresses. If you select the unlisted email option, you will continue to receive occasional email notices from the homeowners association, but your email address will not be published in the Directory. You have until January 1 to select the unlisted email option.

You should have received your membership renewal form by now. Please return it to your street representative by November 16. If you didn't receive a form, or if you misplaced it, you can download and print a new form. The directories will be available at the annual meeting of the Homeowners' Association on February 6, 2010 at Boyce Middle School. Thanks for your support of the Deerfield Manor Homeowners Association.

The Thomas family and the Township of Upper St Clair have begun a process to rezone property at the entrance to Deerfield Manor. See the Development Page for the latest information. This page is updated whenever we get new information.

The September 30 Almanac had an article about possible renovations to the athletic field at Boyce Middle School. The School Board will soon begin considering the addition of artificial turf, field lights and loudspeakers that may be similar to those at the high school. Residents who are familiar with the high school's lighting or who recall the noise from the two-day band practice at Boyce Middle School in June may be concerned about how these developments will affect their quality of life, and may wish to argue for development that will make less of an impact on the neighborhood.
