Please be sure and thank them when you see them, and be sure to patronize their establishments, as well! Here's what they're willing to offer you this year. Be sure and take advantage of it!

A true friend of Virginia DECA, Hardee's has once again teamed with our membership in many ways. In addition to the free drink and fries you get with every sandwich purchase**, Hardee's is involved with Virginia DECA in many other ways. They hire our members, sponsor our Quick Serve Restaurant Management event at SLC (providing scholarship money for those that move on to ICDC!), volunteer judges at district and SLC events, assist chapters with fundraising events (see lesson 107), and even visit our classrooms, providing each of us with insight on the real world of marketing, as well as career opporunities with Boddie-Noel. Most recently that have taken a seat on the newly formed Virginia DECA Foundation. Visit them on the Web at hardees.com, and visit their restaurants for some delicious food! Just be sure you have your membership card when you go!

**You must be a paid Virginia DECA member. Card must be presented at time of purchase. See membership card for details.

Finish Line joined hands with Virginia DECA several years ago, and we have had an great partnership ever since. As our partner, Finish Line has been involved with our chapters in many ways. Not only does Finish Line welcome your application for employment, but would love to be more involved with you and your chapter by judging at your district events, as well as coming to your classroom and working with you on the many aspects of marketing that they know so well! Take advantage of it. In addition, Finish Line has also taken a seat on the Virginia DECA Foundation Board of directors.

Franklin DECA members battle the rain in support of the VTSF.

Two years ago the Virginia Tobacco Settlement Foundation, coupled with the Ydouthink campaign, worked with Virginia DECA in many aspects, including providing workshops, premiums, bringing the "Rantmobile" to many of your local/regional events, and even offering our members a behind the scenes opportunity to work the "Slam and Jam" concert tour featuring Aaron Carter and Monica. The VTSF has also taken a prominent role on the Virginia DECA Foundation Board of Directors, and will likely be a partner of Virginia DECA for years to come. Keep them involved in your chapter activities, and take advantage of what they have offered us!
