MLK Day of Service at the CDAMembers, please get ready to roll up your sleeves to help us clean the classrooms at the CDA on Monday, January 19th from 10 am to 12 pm. We need 15 volunteers to help tackle this assignment. Keeping the classrooms clean is so important at the CDA. When a child gets sick, their parent must miss work to stay home with them and the loss of wages is very detrimental to their households.
