Hello! This past Saturday was the big event! It went extremely well, we ended up raising about six thousand dollars. This is extremely great because I had no idea that our fundraiser would have that much success. Now with all that said there was a lot of preparation we had to do the night before. On Friday we got a bunch of National Honor Society volunteers to come and help us out. The first major thing we had to do was move all of the dress racks out into the hallway and sort them down the line by size. After that we took our signs with numbers and numbered every door with a number so we knew what classroom was a dressing room.
The next day was the grand day of our event! We had to be at the school at 7:30 am so we could finish the last minute details before everyone arrived. We had to help set up the hospitality room full of food and then go out and meet for a prayer that was said by Paster Romozer from Brookville Road Community Church. After the prayer the day had begun and we opened the doors to hundreds of people eager to find dresses. All of our volunteers were assigned to a room and they were only in charge of that room. Macy, Lydia, and I were in charge of hanging up dresses in the correct places and making sure our "costumers" were satisfied. This day was very tiring, but it was very successful. You could say fun but painful and when I mean painful I mean hurting feet, but it was all worth it. When it came around to 2 o'clock and the rooms were empty we started to take down the event. We started by taking down all of the room numbers and putting them back to normal. After that , the volunteers and us took all the dress racks back to the dress storage room. All in all it was a great and successful day. We raised a lot of money and help a lot of girls out. We definitely put smiles on their faces and that is the best feeling ever. Thanks for listening guys! Rylie
