Mom Prom 2012

Never heard of a Mom Prom?  Mention a Mom Prom to most people and they look at you with a blank stare.  But the GFWC Grundy Woman's Club is a hip, happening group of women that know the latest trends.  The first Mom Prom happened six years ago and is the brainchild of a suburban Detroit mother, the ladies-only event invites women to squeeze into an old prom gown or bridesmaid's dress for a charity dance night.  The GWC choose Back Pack Blessings as the charity to donate the proceeds.  After expenses, we managed to raise $750.00 to donate this year.  Back Pack Blessings provide weekend nourishment to school children on the Federal Free and Reduced Meal Program.  Children in the Hurley and J.M. Bevins Middle Schools are who benefited from the Back Pack Blessings we supported.

Forty women over the county came out for our first, (hopefully annual), Mom Prom.  There was a couple of ladies who had "NEVER" attended a Prom before.  Kim for instance had never been to Prom.

We had friends, Mother-Daughters, Grandmother-Granddaughters, Sisters, Cousins, and neighbors.  This could possibly be the start of a tradition, an annual outing that we will cherish.

 Here are a few of the Mother-Daughter pairs.  

Now for the Grandmother-granddaughters

How about relatives?  Any of those attend Mom Prom?

The crazy "Street" gang!!!

Best Friends Forever.....

A real life D. J. played all the songs we requested and Heather Viers Bowman was the official photographer for the night.  A really, really good time was had by all.  There was lots of food, lots of dancing, and lots and lots of laughing.

The Queen, two Princesses and the Tackiest dress winner.

Start looking now for that perfect dress for next years Prom, it will be here before you can blink an eye.  Maybe you can start your own tradition next year. Remember the most important rule............

NO MEN ALLOWED!!!
