Do you have prom dresses, semi-formal dresses, cocktail dresses, mother-of-the-bride dresses, or bridesmaid dresses cluttering up your closets? Have you thought about how you really should do something with those dresses?

Well, here's your chance. Donate the dresses to this Communities Without Borders fundraising effort. Not only will you empty your closets of dresses that won't be worn again, you'll be generating income for two very worthwhile causes: Haitian relief and a village in Zambia called Fumbelo that has been particularly hard-hit by HIV/AIDS.

Items can be dropped off at the home of Liz King (207 Weston Road, Wellesley). Liz will gladly pick up the items at your house as well. Call / email her to arrange for this: 781-431-1282 / kingswells@comcast.net.

Both long and short dresses, wraps and evening purses are needed. Dresses don't need to be dry-cleaned or on hangers. It would be great to receive donations asap.

Also, mark your calendars for April 10 and plan on attending the sale. It will be held at the Wellesley Village Congregational Church (2 Central Street, Wellesley). There will be no admission fee; and it is open to the public. Items will be sold at hugely discounted prices. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale will go to Haiti and Zambia.
