Dear Friends/Readers/Subscribers,

🍁 With the turning leaves comes the harvest of our Town Hall team’s summer work. 🍎

You see it in the construction fence around the “new” Town Hall, but did you know there’s lots more in the works?

🌳This month’s Engage:Deerfield Community Conversation is “Talking Tarmac ~ Beautifying our Streetscape and Community Spaces."

🚸 From the Industrial Park to the Town Common—and Elm Street in between—plans are moving forward to make our streets safer, friendlier, and more connected. And because these are our streets, Alex Galloway, our Town Planner, is eager to hear directly from you.  

Join Town Planner, Alex Galloway, and your neighbors in a conversation about these efforts.

Here’s how the evening unfolds:  

    ✴️  Alex will share what’s on the table for these projects.  

    ✴️ Then it’s over to you—to add your voice, your stories, your wisdom—so that whatever emerges truly reflects the people who call Deerfield home.  

🗺️ No plan is perfect for everyone, but the more voices in the room—from kiddos to elders, rural to downtown, walking, rolling, or driving—the richer the outcome will be.  

🍪 And yes, there will be cookies. Because conversation flows better when we break bread (or sugar) together.  

🚌👨🏼‍🦽‍➡️🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏽 🚘 

So c'mon - walk, roll, or drive to Town Hall and join your neighbors for 🍪 cookies and conversation with Alex!

“Talking Tarmac ~ Beautifying our Streetscape and Community Spaces" is happening:  

               📅 Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025 

               🕒 3–5 p.m.  

               📍 Deerfield Town Hall, 8 Conway Street

➡️  Mark your calendar. Bring a neighbor. Come curious, come thoughtful, come yourself. Together, let’s imagine the Deerfield we want to grow into—one sidewalk, one street, one gathering place at a time. 

We can’t wait to see you on Oct. 5 at Town Hall! 

Warmly,

Your Engage:Deerfield friends

p.s. Engage:Deerfield has changed the time and place for our Community Conversations to make them easier for folks to attend. Community Conversations will be held from 3-5 on Sundays. Location varies. Stay tuned!
