The Webster Public Library is gearing up “Project Prom” again this year, which means it’s time for us to go through our closets and clean out our unused formal wear.
Project Prom is a program that libraries, schools, and other community organizations run to provide formal attire to middle and high school students who might not be able to afford nice, fancy clothes for their prom, ball or other school dance. Any of us with kids (or can remember back when we went to prom) know how much it costs to attend one of these dances — for tickets, flowers, transportation and formal wear — so this is a great easy way to remove some of that financial hardship for students and their families.
And it is really easy. First, check your closets and boxes in the attic for your gently-used formal wear — dress wear, shoes and accessories. Then bring it all to the library any day they’re open from March 2 through April 4. Then, on Saturday April 11, the library staffers will bring all of the items to Community Arts Day for a try-on event, and hopefully give them ALL away to students who can use them.
More information to come about the try-on event, but for now, start going through those closets, and thank you for your help!
