up for the Women's Business Apparel Drive
News Release - April 24, 2009
Norwich, CT - The Dime Bank Blue Crew is on the road again
- this time to the Business Apparel Drive to benefit local women on Sunday,
April 26 at the Holiday Inn's Chelsearose Ball Room, 10 Laura Boulevard
in Norwich. From 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Bank's Blue Crew will
be on-hand to support the mission of the drive. All proceeds from the
event will benefit the Thames River Family Program in Norwich.
From complete ladies suits to separates, Dime Bank employees collected
and donated dozens of articles of clothing. Customers and other members
of the community were also invited to give gently used clothing to the
Drive. Dime staff members also volunteered to help sort the clothing with
event organizer, Dena Whatley from Backus Hospital; and are volunteering
as cashiers on the day of the sale.
The Business Apparel Drive gives women access to business apparel at
reasonable costs. Guests will enjoy a Dress Barn fashion show, as well
as Dress Barn coupons and door prizes. Grasso Technical High School cosmetology
students will also be giving tips for professional hair and make-up.
The Thames River Family Program is a supportive community for local mothers
and their children. If you have questions about the Business Apparel Drive,
