Dress Drive

Sandy Ouellette from DesiredWeddings.com is hosting a fund raising event. We should all do our best to help out! We have been informed that even "gently used" dresses will be accepted.

Sandy writes...
"While watching the Secret Millionaire last month, a town in LA was profiled. Buras, LA was where hurricane Katrina made landfall. This town is still in ruins. People are still living in FEMA trailors, donations have been slow in coming, and volunteers come, but not as many as New Orlenes.
The women and young girls in this area deserve to feel like princeses on their wedding day or prom.
I want to load up a 18 wheeler with dresses to have driven down to them.
I NEED WEDDING DRESSES, BRIDESMAIDS, FLOWER GIRL AND MOTHER DRESSES. WE NEED PROM AND SEMI FORMAL DRESSES FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS. ALL SIZES.
PLEASE SHIP TO THE BELOW ADDRESS...PASS THE WORD...I AM TRYING FOR NATIONAL COVERAGE ON THIS, IF I GET THIS COVERAGE, EVERYONE WILL BE LISTED"
