We kicked off the Prom Project yesterday. The boutique looked beautiful, as we decorated conference room A in teal, orange, yellow and lime (sounds awful, I know, but it matched our comfy orange lounge chairs and throw pillows). We had a small turnout for the first day, but as it is a minimum day at the high school each Monday, we figure kids just went home and forgot about us. We had a lot of support from the media! The Red Bluff Daily News, Redding Record Searchlight, and Channel 7 all came out and did pieces. The RBDN had us front page, above the fold, and ch. 7 had us on the 11pm news (and I hope the news today). The Searchlight only publishes the Red Bluff section twice a week, so we look forward to their piece as well.
Because of the buzz created, we have been inundated with calls and visits of people donating more things, asking to be a part of the project, and just sharing their prom stories. The other blog, My Prom Story, has been so well received. It has been amazing having so many people share their prom experience, and wishing this year's prom-goers a great time.
