Cordelia “Cee” Geiken; a wife, mom & friend, suffered serious and sustained injuries in a motorcycle accident in August. Her recovery is still ongoing, as are the expenses involved.
Mena’s Mercantile, friends and community are rallying together to help benefit the Geiken family while benefiting the community as well. Let’s make the expenses of her recovery the last thing the Geiken family needs to worry about!
This is the season of winter formals’ spring balls, proms and graduations. We will be having an open house at Mena’s Mercantile at which time prom dresses, formal attire, wedding dresses & accessories will be available to the public.
We will be accepting donations for the merchandise. All proceeds will go to the Geiken Family. Dresses, gowns and accessories are not for resale. It is our intention to provide costs savings to attendees and sharing these blessings to all who are involved in this event.
Clean out your closet and share the love! Now through February 10th we are accepting donations of any formal attire. Our wish list includes: prom dresses,tuxedos, wedding gowns, evening gowns, purses, hats, gloves, accessories, etc. Since the Geiken family is also into steam punk and reenactment ,we are also accepting vintage clothing and accessories as well.
If you are unable to attend and would like to make a contribution of gift certificates, gifts, merchandise, etc. feel free to send it to Mena’s Mercantile for our drawings and door prizes.
Please invite any and all who might be interested!!!
I am, also, posting this event to our Community Calendar.
