The Dunedin Council of Organizations (DCO) was founded on May 23, 1964. The DCO is comprised of churches, businesses, professional groups, schools, neighborhoods, individuals, and civic, service and fraternal organizations in the greater Dunedin area, which are interested in advancing the civic, cultural and commercial advantages of the area. The DCO is a politically nonpartisan group, which serves as a medium through which recognized organizations may better promote, and serve the welfare of the community.
