Are you, or someone you know interested in helping out an organization that has brought so much to the community? Then how about nominating yourself or someone you know as a DCDD board member. You don't have to be an instrumentalist to run as a candidate, and you don't have to be versed in politics. All you need is a willingness to help out with a group of people dedicated to making DCDD available to all for years to come. Elections are in September, so speak or e-mail a board member soon with your nomination, or let us know by visiting www.dcdd.org
