Modern Woodmen members, of Washington Court House Chapter 5458, partnered with Washington High School DECA members to match funds raised up to $2,500 from the Mommie-Son Dance and Hospitality events that started April 15 and ended May 7.
The main event was the Spring Mommie-Son Dance on April 15, followed by kickball games, and root beer float concessions. Modern Woodmen members helped at the dance by taking photos of moms and sons, and assisting with games like the Hungry Human Hippo and Cash Grab Money Machine.
The goal of this project was met by raising over $3,000 to purchase Cricut Maker machines, tools, and accessories to assist DECA with their fall and winter home decor school business.
