The Cinderella Project 2011

I'd like to take a moment of your time to talk about a pet project of mine.

Many of you may remember the Cinderella Project that we participated in last spring. Briefly, it is a project sponsored by the Waldo Community Action Partners (WCAP), where prom dresses and accessories are collected by the community and offered free of charge to high school girls to make their prom experience special. You know how costly preparing for prom night can be and many young women would not be able to participate in this very special coming of age event without help.

Last year Beads on the Kennebec was a drop-off spot for donations in the Central Maine area and will be again this year. (More on donation specifics and drop-off dates later)

Cinderella Project is on the ballot for Bangor Savings Bank’s Community Matters More Campaign and are in the running for a $5000 grant if they receive enough votes. If you have the time and inclination, I am asking you to take a moment and click on this link and cast your vote HERE. You can vote for up to three non-profit organizations listed and/or a write in of your choice. To find the Cinderella Project: After entering your name, scroll down to Midcoast and look for Waldo Community Action Partners – Cinderella Project (just above the write in spots).

For more info on the Cinderella Project visit these links: facebook and website .

I will keep you posted as to when we will be able to start receiving donation. In the meantime, start looking through yours and your daughter’s closets for gowns, dresses, shoes, and of course jewelry, to set aside for this event. Once again, it’s time to take out our magic wands and become Fairy Godmothers. You can help make a young lady’s prom a night to remember!

Thank you so much for your support.
