Prom
dress and tux redux!There are numerous organizations throughout the United States and Canada that accept donated 'gently worn' prom dresses, tuxedos and accessories for the purpose of reusing them where they can do the most good.
Gowns and tuxedos are given free of charge (or for a nominal donation) to students whose limited financial situation could prevent them from attending their school's proms, semi-formals, or graduations.
When a domain name expires and is not renewed, some sleazy characters re-launch the expired domain as a porn site. I have seen that happen twice with links below. If you discover an inappropriate (or broken) link, please let us know so that I can remove it from this list. Thank you.
