Back in the day, when we were known as the Rogers Park Community Council, we were sharing updates on the agency's work through a community newspaper that we produced called the Rogers Park 2000. Due to the advent of email, online news and high production costs, we ceased the printed paper in 2010. Now, a decade later, we are bringing it back in the form of email, to update our supporters, partners, and fellow community members of what NCR and our subsidiary organization, NCDC, work towards and accomplish.
