The Dunedin Council of Organizations (DCO) regular meetings are held
on the third Friday at the Scottish Cultural Center from September through May. Over breakfast at the Scottish Cultural Center, members network and hear community leaders speak about local nonpartisan issues.
The Marguerite’s Café catering serves a hot breakfast buffet featuring egg dishes, meats, fruit, bread and pastries, juice, and coffee. Through the monthly sponsorship of our member businesses, the cost to members is just $20.00.
Breakfast is at 7:00 a.m., and meetings begin promptly at 7:30. They wrap up at 8:25 with a drawing for door prizes donated by our members and sponsors.
