About Us
Mission Statement:
The District 1 Community Caucus (D1CC) is designed to foster a dialogue about preserving and enhancing the quality of life in County Council District 1 of Montgomery County, Maryland.
Why we created D1CC:
The concerns of citizens need to be heard. The citizens’ points of view need to be represented. D1CC gives voice to the role that citizens play in our government. In the spring of 2007, community leaders gathered to create a format to exchange ideas with elected officials in an informal setting. The group is non-partisan and provides an opportunity to reach out, share ideas and communicate with one another forging a stronger District One for all our citizens.
The need for a website:
This new website is a tool to expand the mission and engage more citizens. It will feature essays on current topics, calendar of events and links to resources to make being in touch with elected officials more seamless. Webmaster Bill Freund is excited about the new forum. “We are looking for citizens to contribute to the content so that the website can be a resource to inform and educate our residents and officials about key issues in our District.”
Our planned goal for the site is to highlight different citizen groups and their contribution to improving our quality of life in the area. To sign up your citizen group or to share your stories, please contact Ilaya Hopkins at ilayahopkins@verizon.net.
The site is hosted by John Nelson of Community Web (www.mycommunityweb.org). For more information about D1CC and the website, contact Jenny Sue Dunner at 301-657-3568 or Bill Freund at wmfreund@verizon.net.
