The Oak Harbor DECA program is funded soley by the profits of the student store

I am saddened to learn that my former high school’s student store isn’t able to profit as much as it could because strict food guidelines and regulations that have been imposed by the school board.  I feel that if the store had more efficient equipment, they would still be able to succeed - even with these new guidelines. I would hate to see the program disappear because I truly believe that DECA is a program all students should have available to them

My plan is to use the funds to upgrade the point of sale systems to more efficient models, allowing the store to raise funds for it's annual competitions
