EAST DECA SENDS GIFTS AND CARDS TO U.S.A. SOLDIERS


Wichita East DECA members congregated in the East Library on the 27 of November to create cards and gather items to send to our troops for the holidays.

Fifty six students attended the meeting, with additional members submitting donations and cards outside of the meeting. The cards were filled with gratitude for the troops' service and wishes for a happy holiday. By the end of the week, DECA indicates they had collected over 60 cards.

Donations included 60 personal care items (lotion and sanitation wipes) for the troops, as well as $110 to purchase additional personal care items.

As of November 30, the Wichita East DECA Chapter has 77 student members.
