Community Information
Community Center Usage
The DMPOA Community Center is used for Board meetings, other community-related meetings, private functions, package deliveries and a community library (see next item). For those of you who request UPS, FedEx or others to make deliveries for you at the Community Center, there is a designated table located by the ramped handicap-accessible entrance. DMPOA, Inc. does not sign for nor is responsible for any personal, non-DMPOA deliveries. The Center remains unlocked, 24 hours, 7 days a week with the rare exceptions such as using the DMPOA Community Center for national, state and local elections, the doors are locked for a short period of time during the disassembly and loading of the voting machines and other equipment.
If you'd like to hold a community meeting or gathering at the Center, please check with the DMPOA Office Manager to verify the date you want to reserve is open. If the date is available, the DMPOA property owner reserving the facility must fill out an Agreement of Use form and submit it to the DMPOA Office Manager. There are no charges or fees associated with reserved uses of the Community Center but there is a cleaning deposit of $100.00 required to be paid at least one week before the desired use date. However, if the facility is not cleaned after use or damages have occurred to the property, the individual reserving the facility will be contacted and held responsible and if necessary, the DMPOA reserves the right to keep the $100.00 cleaning fee and even charge more if the damages exceed the $100.00 cleaning fee/deposit. To make reservations for private use, please call the Office Manager, Una Learish, at 432-426-3374.
Book & Video Library
Available in the Community Center and in the library buildings is an eclectic collection of donated and well organized books, videos and audio tapes.
