The Women’s City Club of Delaware is teaming up with Delaware Hayes‘ teachers to launch “Fairy Godmother” program to provide free prom dresses to young women whose families are facing financial hardship.
“Proms can be expensive, but every high school girl should have the opportunity to go if she wants to,” said City Club member Debbie Aburmaieleh. “We want to make this possible, so we’re (Women’s City Club of Delaware) collecting gently used, formal dresses and distributing them to girls in need.”

Hey everyone, greetings from England. This is a cool site. Does anyone have any advice about staying out of the friend zone with girls? I’m really tired of women telling me they just want to be friends. Maybe I’m being too nice?
