10:00 AM - 4:00 PM - Clean Out Your Closet and Help Dressing for Success Event
The Business Studies Department of Washington County Community College is holding its 5th Annual Dressing for Success on Wednesday, April 25, and Thursday, April 26, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. in the WCCC Assembly Room.
The purpose of Dressing for Success is to help students nearing graduation who will be going out on business cooperatives and/or job interviews. Many students do not have the means to buy that business suit necessary for the job interviews or a new wardrobe for the first week or so on the job. In job-hunting, first impressions are critical.—the first thing a potential employer sees when greeting a person is his/her attire. Although dressing properly will not guarantee a person’s getting the job, it will give him/her a competitive edge and a positive first impression!
If you would like to donate new or used clothing for this event, please call Rhonda French at 454-1058. We are looking for clothing of all sizes for both men and women -- business suits, dresses, skirts, suit jackets, blazers, ties, shoes, accessories, etc. Since we have a number of nursing and medical assisting students, scrubs are also welcome! All items should be clean and not in need of repair. If possible, items on coat-hangers would be a great help. All items should be dropped off no later than Friday, April 20.
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM - Selection from the Permanent Collection, a new exhibition on view at the Tides Institute & Museum of Art, beginning November 8th and continuing through the spring of 2007. Hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. TIMA is located on Water St., Eastport. For more info visit http://www.tidesinstitute.org or call 207-853-4047.
