\nBy disseminating timely information, we help citizens keep abreast of developments and activities that affect the general welfare. About every five or ten years we have had delegate or leadership seminars to train civic workers. For many years during the period 1966-1990 we issued monthly newsletters, but we have replaced it with this web site, www.dcfca.org. We publish a directory to let public agencies and private organizations know who our member associations and neighborhood leaders are.<\/p>\n
We\u00a0<\/span>represent<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>citizens and our member associations by testimony and letters on important issues. We also support our member associations when they need help on problems like new liquor stores, or streets needing repairs. We are a recognized voice for the general welfare of the city. The influence that we can bring to bear is limited only by the readiness of our delegates to roll up their sleeves and do the necessary work<\/p>\n
