Westonka DECA is excited to be bringing 30 students to the DECA International Career Development Conference in Atlanta, April 22-27. To cover the expenses of the competition, Westonka students, staff, family, friends and community members are invited to attend the annual Discover DECA BINGO Fundraiser on Wednesday, April 6 in the Mound Westonka High School cafeteria. 

The $10 admission covers dinner (hot dog, chips and water), a BINGO card with fabulous prizes, and lots of fun! The evening will also feature a silent auction. All proceeds will go to the students and their fundraising goals. In addition, MWHS DECA projects competing at Internationals will be on hand, so attendees can catch a glimpse of the competitive world of DECA.

The event starts at 5 p.m. with the auction ending at 7 p.m. BINGO runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance from a Westonka DECA member.
