FUNDS FOR CHILDREN This year GATA's service project involved the Arkansas School for the Deaf and Blind. GATA raised the money to help refurnish some of their dorm rooms. Alpha Tau went along with Gata to present the money to the school and to spend some time with the children living in the dorms. They threw a small party for the people there and presented the school with the money they raised. "The staff was really glad we came," said GATA president Dawn Spell. "The kids were excited to have people even tty to communicate with them.'' GATA had a cookie sale to raise money. Each girl in the club baked homemade cookies which they sold one week in the student center. This raised $160, and GATA added to it for a total of$300. The money was given to the school to use for personal items in the dorm they othe1wise could not purchase. "It was great to share what we had with them," said Spell. GATA greatly influenced the children and the people associated with the Deaf and Blind School. They showed that there are people out there who want to help support such projects, but most importantly, they spent time with children who needed it. - Traci Busby "It was great to share what we had with them.
