Do You Remember Your Prom?

March 13th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Commercial Interior Design, Interior Design

Now’s the time to help others create their own memories.  Next weekend, March 18-21, “Share the Memories” will set up shop at the Midland Community Center.  The North Midland Family Center and the Midland Newcomers coordinate the event that redistributes gently-worn prom dresses to relieve the financial stress for young women who may not otherwise be able to attend their prom.

According to an article in the Midland Daily News, last year 100 girls selected from 500 gowns.  This year the goal is to have over 800 dresses for the students so they can find that one perfect gown that makes the prom so special.  The girls can browse the racks of dresses, select accessories to complete an ensemble, and win prizes of makeup and flowers. 

You can help by checking your closets and donating your well-kept formals, shoes, jewelry, etc.  The drop-off point is at the Midland Community Center, or you can bring the items into SPACE and Colette will deliver them for you.  You can also volunteer to work the event as a greeter, shopping assistant, or attendant.  SPACE team members who are also members of Zonta are well-aware of this event as Zonta provides volunteers again this year.
