The purpose of the service project was to help Decatur area homeowners spruce up their yards. This was a free service but four homeowners donated more than $250 the the Conservative Club.
Club members hope to have a cook-out for all DHS clubs before the end of the year. Any money left over will be donated to the Decatur Ed Foundation. Great Job DHS Conservatives!
