That how build community
For event Is there event that dcara will host Superbowl event?
I served on Board back in 2009 through the end of 2014, we had reports on DCC and the old HQ building (behind DCC)- many are not in compliance with the city code. I think I may have the report in the basement, and if you want, I can find the time to visit HQ to drop them off for you to review. I remember the DCC coordinator's office being leaked for SO long time, and I was surprised that it has not been taken care of since my term ended!
