A Word of Thanks From the DCA

The Deltaville Community Association (DCA) Board of Directors would like to
acknowledge and thank all of the following people and companies that did so much
to help us re-build following the Tornado of April 16, 2011. We did our very best to keep
track of everyone that helped and apologize should we have missed anyone. The spirit
of the community and the people that consider Deltaville as their second home was
overwhelming. We hope that you will save this document as a remembrance of just what
can be done when people want it to happen…..
