Q: What can YOU do to help the TDCA to continue to work for you and your family?
The TDCA NEEDS YOU AND YOUR ACTIVE SUPPORT.
HELP US HELP YOU. You don’t have to work on projects, and you don’t need to attend every meeting – (they only last 1 hour each month).
All we ask is that you join and attend a few meetings. It will be your opportunity to tell us what we can do to make the Tyalgum community better for all of us. AND if you have an issue that is giving you concerns – tell us and let’s see whether we (collectively) can get it resolved.
The TDCA has been supporting you – come along and work with us to improve our community.
​
Join the TDCA to help keep building our community.
​
Meetings - Third Wednesday in the month, 6pm at the Community Hall.
​
YOU are all very welcome!
