White Center - On Saturday, December 3, the White Center Community Development Association (CDA) is proud to host the 10th Annual Community Summit - an event that celebrates the White Center neighborhood and the many efforts of residents, organizations, and community partners to connect to resources and one another. This year’s theme - “Building Neighborhood Equity” - is driven by the concerns that local residents have raised about housing, healthcare, employment, and education in 2011. The Summit will feature workshops in each of these areas.
