Prom Dress Donations Needed

Just a reminder!
Tuesday, February 15th is the last day to donate your formal dresses, shoes, jewelry, and Men’s jackets (get your guy friends to help out!) to the high school students of Savoonga, Alaska!

Your used formal dresses are needed for high school students in the Alaskan village of Savoonga because a first-ever Prom Night will be happening for those students on May 7!  We want to invite you to donate your used prom or formal dresses to the Savoonga village girls by Tuesday, February 15, 2011!  Bring them to the university relations office in Pennington House (1000 Sheridan Street) or to the ASC Offices. We will take responsibility to ship them to this village, located on St. Lawrence Island just below Siberia in the middle of the Bering Sea!

Did you know…
•       Roxie Quick, a 1972 George Fox alumna, is the principal at Hogarth Kingeekuk Sr. Memorial School in Savoonga, where prom night is coming back!
•       The teachers at the school are really excited about this.  They plan to teach etiquette and dance lessons and have the students research how traditional prom nights are put together.
•       The village mothers and grandmothers are also excited.  They plan to alter the dresses, find used shoes and jewelry, and chaperone the dance.

Be part of this movement and love on someone you don’t even know – all for the glory of God!
