Dairy Council Inc. is an older organization based in Southamp ton that was created during the Great Depression to provide nutri tional help and promoted milk through school programs to Philadelphia-arca children suffer ing from malnurishment. After the milk promotion funding became available throug the dairy fanner check-off program, DCI qualified as a recipient. Also included in the merger is Dairy Council of Greater Metropo litan Washington D.C., that serves a similar function there. Technically and legally, there has been no merger between MAMMA and cither of the dairy councils. Because of tax status differ ences, an official “merger" was sidestepped, and instead, MAM MA operations are being “consoli dated" with those of the two dairy councils, which have merged.
