May 04 - DCMA's Annual Get Together

Each year the DCMA has an annual meeting for our members, want to be members, patrons, and to honour our volunteers.

Held off site, each year in a different municipality. This year it is Melancthon, and the event will be in the Horning’s Mills WI Hall. Meet our many volunteers and thank them for their work at the DCMA.

The highlight of the day will be the first public introduction to the DCMA’s Five-Year Strategic Plan.

After the meeting you will be invited on a walking tour through Horning’s Mills with Martin Hunt.

After the walk, we will send you off with a driving tour guide through Melancthon Township.
