• Operation Prom Girl 2018

Operation Prom Girl is now in its fifth year, and is getting more popular as the years go by. A brief recap of Operation Prom Girl goes this way. 

Dawn Schultz wanted to give back to the community, and her idea was to help out with prom dresses. (That's the super simplified version) ☺

Because most girls would like to attend their high school prom, but some are in a family where money is too tight to afford dresses; big ticket items, only used once.  

—From 2014 Blog

"The day is to be filled with workshops, inspirational speakers, hair and makeup instruction, raffles, resources and referrals in a loving and empowering atmosphere for young women."

- From the event flyer

This year's event will be held at the Elks Lodge on Saturday, March 24th, from 10:00am to 3:30pm. To qualify, and get a ticket to the free event, you must apply at www.opromgirl.wordpress.com

Most recently Operation Prom Girl hosted a dress sale to raise money and reduce their inventory of 1000 dresses. The dresses, most in need of some TLC, were sold for only $5.00.

Some of the dresses being offered for $5.

I asked Operation Prom Girl board member, Bridgette Moore, for some additional details on the dress sale. 

"Last Saturday seventeen volunteers spent about 5 hours sorting through 1,000 dresses. We took out about 200 dresses and decided to sell them for $5.00 to raise some funds. We sold 24 dresses." 

It's hard to beat $5 for an evening gown.

"The dresses [we sold] today [might] have a small tear, or stain, or the zipper is broken or we thought it was "an acquired taste" aka no teenager will wear it. We have about 150 additional dresses to sell next Sat (March 17th) at 36017 Mustang Spirit Lane in Wildomar."

The lovely model Laura is holding up this chic, olive green, prom dress.

There will be a fundraiser at DeJong's Dairy on Saturday, April 14th, 2018, 3:30pm. Cost is $5. If you haven't toured the dairy before, this is a great opportunity to do it... when I went, there was some chocolate milk tasting included too.

As of press time, I hadn't heard who to contact about the tour.
Since it's not for a month, inquire at the Operation Prom Girl facebook page.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

Wildomar Rap ponders the quote above... Obviously Mr. Shakespeare lived long before Al Gore invented the internet. If he were alive today, he'd have penned that quote more like this. Be decent to all, trust those that have proven themselves, and feel free to blast those that distort the facts and spread outright lies for their amusement or due to their unflagging stupidity.
