The Saline County Career Center’s DECA chapter received a generous donation from an area organization on Monday, February 26.
According to a news release, the DECA chapter announced it received a donation of $2,000 from the Malta Bend Memorial American Legion Post #558, which will help support and sustain the chapters’ funding this year.
