LIMA, OH (WLIO) - It's a project that a local service club started to help young ladies afford outfits for school dances.
The Lima Kiwanis Club's "Diva Den" is set for this Saturday. It's a collection of new or gently used formal wear that the girls can try on to find just the right dress for that special evening. There is no cost for the dresses and organizers say it's well worth their efforts.
"It's so much fun to see the girls come and get excited about a dress. It's even more exciting when you see how mothers and grandmothers react to seeing their daughters and granddaughters in a dress that maybe they couldn't have afforded to buy," said Candy Newland, Kiwanis Diva Den.
The Masonic Center is located at 2165 North Cole Street in Lima. Diva's Den starts at 9 a.m. and runs through noon. Dresses will be displayed similarly to shopping at a store and there will be dressing rooms available to try on your choices. Again there is no charge for the dresses.
