DHS Teacher, Chris Billingsley, writes in about a DHS fundraiser at Maddy’s tomorrow night that will help raise money for the Close Up Club’s trip to D.C. for the ’09 inauguration.

The Decatur High School Close Up Club is hosting a “DHS Close Up Night At Maddys” on Tuesday, Aug. 19, from 5:00 to 8:00.  Maddys (1479 Scott Blvd, Decatur, GA 30030 ) will donate a portion of the receipts to help 18 DHS students pay (really parents) for a week of citizenship and government study in Washington, D.C. during the 09 inauguration.  Students have completed two service projects in Decatur at the Glenn Creek Nature Preserve and the Decatur Cemetery and plan on doing other service projects to help raise money for the trip.  Come to Maddys to enjoy some great barbeque, good friends, and help a great group of kids.

Sounds like a once in a lifetime week in D.C. for the students…plus you know you were already thinking about Maddy’s anyway.  Why not just give in to the inevitable?
