"""""""""""""""""""Registration is recommended""""""""""""""""""" website email@dressofmydreams.org This is the day young ladies will come with a parent / guardian to pick out / reserve the Dress of Their Dreams. If needed, we will have the dress cleaned and ready for pick up at our Health & Personal safety discussion day, (TBD) prior to their respective prom nights. Discussion day is just that, a day for reflection and discussion. This is a mandatory event for ALL of our clients. This is the day that dresses are picked up and we all come together for our Health & Personal safety talks. This year, topics will include, but are not limited to: the obvious, (personal health & safety) but we will also discuss financial health & cyber safety, financial aid, healthy relationships, and goals. This is also where each individual young lady will make her Dream board. Dream boards are positive reinforcements of who they are. They will list their strengths, what they want for their life, and give some positive word to describe themselves. These are presented to the group when they are finished. We will serve light refreshments for discussion day. Annual Dress donation drive (Call to Action) We are not able to do what we do without the donation of dresses and items needed.
