Dress A Girl is Tuesday, April 17th at St. Cecilia's from 3-8 pm.

"WOMEN HELPING GIRLS" will be coming and 25 young girls are going to be our guests AND want to provide our dinner for the evening! WHAT A BLESSING THEY ARE!

We will explain the program to them and I thank you ahead of time for showing them how to make dresses and dolls, while experiencing the dedication and heart each of you have for this project.


God bless each of you and thank you again for all you do the enhance and change little girls lives here and around the world!

PS~~~If you are able to stay and help us clean up...that would be a great help, too. It goes much quicker that way.

Good Friday

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

Dress A Girl EVENT - AAUW 4/7/12

Join us Saturday, April 7, from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm (All or any part of the day)

We will “sew” dresses and make dolls to be sent around the world by the Dress A Girl program to be given to girls of all ages who are trapped in the cycle of poverty which makes them vulnerable to becoming victims of human trafficking.http://www.dressagirlaroundtheworld.com/

We will collect donations at the AAUW and also invite you to come out and participate on our “sew” day. You do not need to know how to sew. There are jobs for everyone related to the completion of each dress and doll. For more information visit the websites of Dress A Girl Around The World andAngels of Mercy.

If you can help us with any of the following it would be greatly appreciated.

Small sewing apples /   Yarn (in neutral colors)   /Washcloths  /    Elastic    / Fabric (no see through)            Scarves  /  Pillow cases  /   Thread   / Bias tape  /  Rick Rack   /   Pins   /   Buttons   /    Needles /   Fiber fill  /      Ribbon  /  Scissors   /   Fabric  /  Pillow Cases

We are looking to borrow just for the day: portable sewing machines and sergers, two irons and boards. Please check your sewing boxes and supplies. Donations can be brought to GRAB/AAUW anytime up to and including   April 7. The washcloths that were not the right color, the tablecloth and/or pillowcases you received as gifts and never used and the fabric left from projects you have been planning to do something with can find a purpose on Saturday.

We are asking that you take any equipment you bring with you home at the end of the day or when you leave or make arrangements for it to be returned to you by calling us. We do not have storage available and we want everything returned promptly and safely.

Any supplies/materials not used will be donated to Dress A Girl to aid them in producing dresses for distribution.    

If you plan to join us please call GRAB/AAUW at 244-8890 and ask Felice to add your name to the list. Remember to tell her if you will be with us for the entire day or which part of the day. Please call by Wednesday, April 4.

I was at a Dress A Girl sewing day last week and they made beautiful dresses to be distributed to girls in the Rochester area for Easter. If you are familiar with the Polly Flinders dresses from a while back they were very much in that style. They were beautiful.

What an Honor!

Easter Dresses for School 33

Angels of Mercy, Inc of New York ( New York State Reps for Dress A Girl Around the World) would love to share our Dresses with the children in the Rochester area. On April 3, 2012, handmade EASTER DRESSES were sent to School 33 for the 1st Graders. It is our desire to dress and bless girls in our own community as well as girls around the world!

AOM has just connected with the Sidewalk Clubs for Flower City Work Camp 2012.
Flower City Work Camp is held every year in Rochester during April Spring Break and 50 churches are involved. 1300 children ages 4-14 attend this camp and over half of them are girls.
AOM will be providing Dress A Girl Dresses next week to the inner city girls that attend the Sidewalk Camps.

What a beautiful opportunity to spread God’s love to the children of our city.
