Matt Caffrey introduced as the new President.

A thank you to Rich Slabinski who put forth the effort for our non-profit status and a thank you to Cindi Goodin for the time and effort that went in to this.

The main focus for the DBCA this year is to increase the membership and to better the community.  A new marketing plan will be put together to

encourage everyone to bring new people out and to focus on the Shop Local/Dine Local programs. Also working to put together a senior project

though our local high school to help assist the DBCA with our many programs this year. 

Thank you again to everyone that came out tonight.
