College of DuPage rocks with the troops
Shelly Mencacci, coordinator of Veterans Services at College of DuPage, speaks with a group of enlisted men at the recent “Rockin' for the Troops” fundraiser at Cantigny Park.
A group of COD volunteers was on site in both the Hospitality and Expo tents, and the College – a premier sponsor for the event – held a Teddy bear clinic for kids under age 12.
