Morningside College
Upon initiation of members in the Morningside Chapter last year, we immediately elected officers, and what an ambitious group of girls we had. This year’s group started volunteering with a new event on campus: “The Trashion Show.” The event was put on by another student group on campus to raise awareness about consumption of products and waste by everyday people. Naturally, it occurred on Earth Day, April 22nd , so the planning time was short. The team made up a great name for the design team: “Oscar de la grouch” and entered a design made for a bride on her most special day. The dress was made of white store bags, a belt fashioned from a purple ribbon with a removable flower fashioned from magazine clippings, and a great purse created from a half-gallon milk carton; shoes seemed of no importance as we went for the “all natural” look as it seemed fitting for the celebration of the day. Beth Norton, our model, shook up the run way with a great attitude and stunning smile. When it came down to the final wire and the judges made their critiques of each outfit, some made from bubble wrap, old billboards, film strips, and many other odd items, our group was deemed the third place winner and was given a prize of $40.00. We not only volunteered to help awareness of the environment, but also had a great time doing it.
