Area 7,

WRLC is right around the

corner and I still want to get to

know your chapters. If you want

to schedule a visitation email

me, find me on Facebook, or

your Advisors about an event, meeting, or classroom

INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

Meet your 2012-2013 Western Region

Vice President Victoria Cana

Victoria is a driven, adven-

turous 17 year-old who enjoys

writing her life story as though

she’s the protagonist of a nov-

el, observing the world from as

many angles as possible, laugh-

ing until her stomach hurts, and

thanks to DECA, speaking in pub-

lic. This fall, Victoria will be

taking another step toward her dream of becoming a

public relations director by attending New York

University majoring in Media, Culture, and Communi-

cation. In addition to DECA, Victoria is a free-

lance social media consultant, a social media in-

tern for New York University, and an aspiring nov-

elist. She loves handwritten notes, movies with in-

tricate plots, smoothies, helping other people

achieve their dreams, and the color pink.

*Meet Victoria at WRLC this November!*

The Movement is an international student-driven fundraiser for the Mus-

cular Dystrophy Association (MDA) in which all of DECA can participate.

This project has been organized by former

Oklahoma State Officer, Jay Koontz, and DECA’s

National Officer Team. The goal of The Move-

ment is to strengthen the MDA-DECA partner-

ship by uniting chapter efforts to support MDA

through community service or by raising funds

for MDA research. Get involved simply by

raising money for MDA and serving them in

your local community. A toolkit will give ideas for fundraisers and

service opportunities. It will be sent to each chapter when they join

online at https://www.ourmvmt.com/join.

Washington DECA has supported the Ronald McDonald House Chari-

ties for about 5 years now. The

purpose of the Ronald McDon-

ald House is to of- fer families a

home away from home while their

children are under- going treatment

for various diseas- es and conditions.

Families are asked to pay $25 a

night, but some cannot meet this.

This is where Washington DE-

CA comes in. At FLC and SCDC

“Miracle Minutes” are held and raise

almost $2500! That can provide

help for 100 fami- lies.

Every year, your State Officers set a monetary goal, as a state. This

There will be a Miracle minute

at WRlc Wa only session, so

bring your spare change to

donate!
