REMINDER!
ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT
2021 DESIGNER DRESS DAYS
After careful consideration and with much regret, we have made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s Designer Dress Days because of increasing COVID cases. The health and safety of our volunteers, staff and community is our highest priority, and we do not think that it’s in the best interest to move forward with the October event at this time.
We will continue to share updates and a new event date with everyone as plans develop.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding.
