Veterans Day Service

Stand with the Deerfield American Legion Post 738 to honor our veterans with a Veterans Day Service on Monday, November 11 at 11 a.m. It will be taking place at the newly located Veterans Memorial in the parking lot at Jewett Park and Robert York.

Give Where You Live

Stop by Village Hall after the Veterans Day Service on Monday for Give Where You Live from noon to 2 p.m. Volunteers of all ages will come together to make no-sew fleece blankets, assemble care packages and write letters of thanks and encouragement to veterans. Donations for the event are being accepted at the Police Department and Village Hall lobbies. Get more information here. 

Become a gate keeper of our waterways by registering for the Village’s new Grate Keepers Program. Residents and businesses can now adopt the storm water inlets near their property and pledge to clean the areas around them to reduce local flooding and keep litter and yard waste from polluting local waterways and impeding proper flow.

Using the Villages GIS mapping program, residents can search their neighborhood to find nearby grates. Click here to find inlets (I) and catch basins (CB) available. Be sure to copy or write down the identification number of the inlet or catch basin you want to adopt. When you are ready, fill out the online form here to register and name your grate and show your commitment to reducing trash and organic pollutants while preventing localized flooding.

Kick-off the holiday season at the Village’s Downtown Lighting Ceremony on Wednesday, November 27, from 4 to 5 p.m. at Deerfield Village Centre Plaza between Starbucks and Bobby’s.
