The Decatur High School Close Up Club had its first meeting of the new year Thursday evening. Students and parents are very excited that this year’s trip will include a day trip to visit the Gettysburg National Battlefield. Through the fund raising efforts of students and the generous support of many citizens in the City of Decatur, the Gettysburg trip will be free! The Decatur Craft Beer Festival has also awarded us $1,500 to help pay for the trip. Thank You Decatur!

Club members will be participating in the City of Decatur MLK Service Day on Monday. If you would like to sponsor the service work of one of the DHS Close Up members, or make a contribution to help pay for our trip, please contact Mr. Chris Billingsley (cbillingsley@csdecatur.net) for more information.
