Our next Quarterly Meeting is Thursday evening, at 6pm, on the 24th. We are pleased to report that our President, Scott Michael, was able to meet with the new Principal of Dean Highland Elementary School and secure our traditional quarterly meeting place. The new Principal will be at the meeting and is going to share some of the challenges that the school faces today. As a longtime supporter of the school, the Dean Highland Neighborhood Association is looking forward to hearing about the challenges and how we can serve.
So, Thursday, September 24th, 6pm, at Dean Highland Elementary School (3300 Maple Ave., Waco, TX 76707). Here it is on a map:
The front doors of the school will probably be locked, so you will have to hang a left (if you’re facing the front doors) and follow the building to the black gate, where you will see an entrance to the cafeteria. This is where you will find us!
We are trying to gather as much information about the needs and wants and demographics of the neighborhood before the meeting, so please fill out (or re-fill out) a membership form before Thursday (the 24th).
As always, if you have any questions, shoot us an email at deanhighlandwaco@gmail.com.
ALSO
Zion Hill Baptist Church will be celebrating its 145th anniversary on Sunday, September 27th, beginning at 9am, and it wants to let the whole neighborhood know that we are invited to the service. Zion Hill Baptist Church is located at 2919 McKenzie Avenue, Waco TX, 76708. Here they are on a map:
This is a fantastic opportunity to get out of the house and explore your neighborhood. You will not regret switching up your Sunday morning routine for this. Check out their Facebook page.

Our “Voices from Dean Highland” oral history project is going well. You can read more about our “Voices from Dean Highland” project here. You (yes, you!) and your story are way more interesting and important than you think, and this project is something that your loved ones will appreciate long after you’re gone.
