Volunteers of the Week

The DCC community showed up for Alan and his family, who are inviting members to a Celebration of Life for Alan at the clubhouse on July 31.
Dunany Glee Club at the clubhouse
The 'Sing with Glee Event' opened the season’s first 5 à 7 of the season with musical flare! On a rainy night, the Dunany Glee Club started the evening with the song ‘Africa’ to get things rolling. The Glee Club engaged the audience in a fun-filled evening of sing-along to favourite familiar tunes from many different eras.
Many heartfelt anecdotes and tributes to Mary Chuprun highlighted the event. Thank you to all who attended and who helped put this together for such a memorable evening."
