Over 800 prom dresses available to local students

Over 800 prom dresses available to local students

Thanks to the support of the community, the Clear Channel Montgomery 4th Annual Prom Dress Drive continues as a major success for community events. An estimated 813 prom dresses have been collected so far this year for students who may be experiencing tough times due to the economy. 

All dresses were donated from the residents of the River Region and southern states and have been cleaned and pressed by Jim Massey Cleaners. This overwhelming support has once again allowed the event to be open to anyone who may need a prom dress, but simply cannot afford one.

On Monday March 26, 2012 dresses will be given away at the back entrance of the Dunn-Oliver Acadome, on the campus of Alabama State University, from 2:00 until 6:00 p.m. This event is free and open to all students. Attendees are encouraged to come early. Girls will be allowed to pick and try on dresses during this time.

Should Sagging Pants Be Banned From All Public Buildings, Properties, & Events...

In October 2009 Morehouse College passed an "Appropriate Attire Policy" banning do-rags, grills, and sagging pants.  Some people think that its an appropriate step in conveying to our young adults the importance of dress in corporate America while others wonder "Whatever happened to individuals being able to express themselves freely?" 

Currently, we have a candidate for City Council Dist. 6 asking the council to sponsor her No Sagging Ordinance.  This will, if enforced properly, put and end to sagging in public places (ex: libraries, city hall, public parks....etc).  If the individual is asked to comply with the standards of dress and refuse they may be asked to leave the premises.  If that individual declines to leave the police may then be called to take that individual to jail for trespassing.  There would be no jail time for sagging but, trespassing is a crime.
