​The Bear Creek Social Committee is pleased to invite residents to a special community event featuring Lisa DeForest.
Join us on May 11, 2026 at 6:00 PM at the Bear’s Den for an informative evening as Dr. DeForest shares general updates about the Murrieta community, including local projects, services, and events. All Bear Creek residents are welcome to attend.
Dr. DeForest is a longtime Inland Empire resident and community member with over 30 years of professional experience. As a representative on the Murrieta City Council, she values staying connected with residents and providing helpful information about what’s happening in the area.
As a fellow Bear Creek neighbor, she looks forward to meeting residents and answering questions in an open and informative setting. We hope you’ll join us for this engaging  community event.

We’re excited to introduce a monthly Ladies Bunco Night for the Bear Creek community, held every fourth Monday of the month at 6:00 PM beginning in March.
Our first Bunco Night will take place on Monday, March 23 at 6:00 PM at the Bear’s Den.
Bunco is easy to learn and a great way to enjoy a fun, social evening with neighbors. Whether you’ve played before or are brand new, it’s a relaxed and welcoming night designed to bring the community together.

​Bunco will be facilitated by Lori and Marge.
For questions, please contact Lori at 951-834-5830 or Marge at 310-938-4403.

Bear Creek Master Community is officially recognized as a FIREWISE USA® certified
community by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). This designation

reduction strategies and maintaining an ongoing mitigation program.

Why This Matters for Insurance

As wildfire underwriting standards tighten across California, insurance carriers
increasingly evaluate community-level risk mitigation. FIREWISE USA® certification
provides documented evidence that Bear Creek meets nationally recognized wildfire
preparedness standards.
