Dear community members,

On behalf of the CDA Executives, as we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new one, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to each and every one of you.

We’ve made it through another year 2025, and it’s been an incredible journey. We’ve shared joys and challenges, triumphs and setbacks. But through it all, our community has remained strong, resilient, and supportive.

We all have been part of this vibrant and diverse community. Your unique perspectives, talents, dedication and passion are what make our community thrive and strong.

As we enter the new year, let us remember the values that bring us together: kindness, compassion, empathy, and a commitment to making our community a better place for all.

Let us resolve to continue supporting one another, to lifting each other up, and to working together towards a brighter future.

Thank you, and happy new year!

Oyewole Afolabi
CDA Chairman
