Next Week; Feb 10-12
We need baked goods! Because we are sending the largest group of Deltans in the history of SHSU to the Sigma Tau Delta International Convention we are in need of funding. Next Wednesday will mark the start of the first of several bake sales that will help us send our members to this conference and help us sponsor other activities as the semester continues.
