****A note from Vicki Patridge (wife of 795MPBN CMDR)****
There is an ACS Program called 'Gowns Galore'. They allow spouses to borrow FREE OF CHARGE gowns for balls, etc. They are located on 53 Young Street which is past Pippin Youth Center. (If you were leaving post out the main gate, turn left at the shoppette light and after you pass the elementary school, you will see a sign pointing to Pippen Youth Center--it is on Young Street--turn RIGHT onto Young Street and continue past Pippin until you come upon a set of 5-6 old quarters. The 2nd set of quarters is called 'The House Next Door'. Gowns Galore is located in that building. They are open 9-11am from Monday to Thursday. HOWEVER ACS has very kindly allowed me to sign out the keys and I will be there this weekend for MP spouses to look around and sign out dresses. I believe they have from retro to beautiful dresses available. If you are an ID CARD holder, you can sign out a dress (or two). The rule is if you WEAR the dress you MUST DRY CLEAN the dress before you return it. I will be there from 3-5:30PM on Sunday 20 September. This will give your spouses a chance to look around while their service member is home with the kids. Formal gowns can be expensive. This is a great way to save some money during difficult times. Thank you for everything you do!
