Recent CDA Activities:

Recently, CDA gathered items for Abuse Alternatives. Items were placed in the commons and taken to Abuse Alternatives to aid those in need that are residing in a home that Abuse Alternatives use to house and shelter those in violent and/or abusive relationships.

2nd Annual Collection for the Troops Project:  In 2010, CDA gathered items for the service men and women stationed in Afghanistan. A table was set out in the commons the weekends of October 16/17 and October 23/24. On Sunday, the 24th, several members gathered to put the items into boxes and prepare them for shipping. This year there were over 40 boxes prepared with much needed items. Once again there were cards prepared by the Saint Anne School children to be given to the men and women serving our country.

Photos of past and present veterans on Display for Veterans' Day: In November, 2010, in the commons the weekend before and after Veteran's Day CDA placed a display of veterans of the parish, both presently serving and those who have served in the past.
