East Forest students seek donations for veterans project

From staff reports

East Forest students Taylor Oliver and her sister, Hailee Oliver, of Marienville, are joining together to help honor hometown veterans as a service project for the East Forest chapter of the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA).

The two are raising money to create and purchase heavyweight vinyl banners with pictures of servicemen and women from their community, which will be hung throughout the town.

They have already received donations from the VFW and Jenks Township, but more are needed.

Anyone who wants to donate can call Shenessa Rossetti at the East Forest School District at (814) 927-6688 between 7:45 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. before Feb. 14.
