All proceeds will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County. My Sister’s Dress is hosting dress drives now through March 21 to collect formal shoes, jewelry, shawls, and gowns in new or gently used condition. These collection drives are scheduled in preparation for the 1st annual dress sale to be held from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, April 5 & 6, 2008 at McHenry County College. The following local businesses will accept dress and accessory donations during their own business hours: American Community Bank in Crystal Lake, McHenry and Woodstock, Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County in McHenry and Star 105 in Crystal Lake.
