Its beginning to feel like the holidays are around the corner here at The Reserve in Deer Park. To get into the spirits we wanted to bring in some holiday beauty and fun into the building for everyone to enjoy.
“The Joy of brightening other lives, bearing each others’ burdens, easing each other’s loads and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts becomes for us the magic of the holidays.” – W. C. Jones
Our tenants had the opportunity to enjoy a sweet treat while voting for their favorite pumpkin. Tenants had their choice of a type of taffy apple with some cider to get into the spooky spirits.
Every thought is a seed. If you plant crab apples, don't count on harvesting Golden Delicious.
-Bill Meyer
Tenants had the opportunity to show their creative sides by entering their pumpkin in the annual pumpkin decorating contest! Great work to everyone who entered.

Saving energy is good business because it cuts expenses. It’s also environmentally wise and responsible. There are many things you can do to save on energy costs in your office, which can be simple things each of us can do.
