WHAT IS THE SOCIAL COMMITTEE?
From time to time, people have asked exactly what does the Social Committee do? Well, we are a volunteer group of  Creekside residents who plan and organize our neighborhood activities. We are always looking for more volunteers. The group has meetings once a month and we work at the events we plan. It is a great way to meet your neighbors and help cultivate a sense of community. Please consider joining our committee or any of the other committees. We can only continue planning social events if the residents are willing to take an active role in making our activities the best they can be! For more information Please contact Dena Sexton 972 461-2676 sextonfamily@verizon.net
