Dear Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Bruneau <strong>and</strong> Ms. <strong>Edward</strong>s;<br />
As Chair of the <strong>Hastings</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Prince</strong> <strong>Edward</strong> Learning Foundation, I would like to<br />
thank you for participating in “The Prom Project”. Your donation of dry cleaning,<br />
bagging <strong>and</strong> storing the dresses, suits, etc. was very generous. This valuable donation<br />
has made Prom Night <strong>and</strong>/or Grade 8 graduation much more accessible to all students<br />
within <strong>Hastings</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Prince</strong> <strong>Edward</strong> Counties.<br />
Several wonderful stories have come to us with respect to the Prom Project <strong>and</strong> I<br />
would like to share one with you.<br />
At one of the sites, a young girl walked through the gym doors <strong>and</strong> made a b-line for<br />
a bubblegum pink satin gown. She took it off the rack <strong>and</strong> headed right to the change<br />
room. “I am so excited…this is the best day of my life!” she said to her friend. One of<br />
the volunteers at this site knew that the gown was a bit big for her, but she also knew<br />
that there was a “seamstress extraordinaire” at the school who would make the dress fit<br />
to perfection… <strong>and</strong> she did. This young girl had lost her mom to cancer (after a 6 year<br />
battle with the disease). Thanks to this initiative, this young woman will look gorgeous<br />
at her event.<br />
As Frank Gielen, our Foundation Treasurer noted, “We will never be able to measure<br />
the effect of the Prom Project, but it is clear that this opportunity has made a big<br />
difference to our students, their parents <strong>and</strong> the community.”<br />
Thank you again for helping to make this happen.<br />
Sincerely;<br />
Elaner Pound<br />
Chair, The <strong>Hastings</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Prince</strong> <strong>Edward</strong> Learning Foundation<br />
