Subject: Sensibility vs. HERFF JONES

Have recieved several emails concerning HERFF JONES, their extortion methods,  and the many shades of green gowns floating around Chatham.  Many offers to  donate gowns and many feel the practice of setting up the table in the hall at NW by HERFF JONES sort of pressures kids  to buy or want to buy although many cannot afford. 

The one thing I didn’t hear back on is a taker for the slightly used (worn less than an hour) gown I offered.  Which sort of says to me that we will have few  takers and most will want to spend the 45? dollars on the new gown that they can wear for an hour and then hang in the closet or  donate to the Thrift Store.

I’m going to give this gown to the guidance office at NW and they will know  someone who may need it as graduation nears.  I encourage others to do the same with their old “shades of many greens” gowns.

And PLEASE check the internet for much cheaper and cooler invitation ideas. 
Also there are cheaper photographers out there for you senior portraits than the company the school uses which forces youto buy packages you just don’t need.  And as always, try to buy local??  Are there any photographers out there or printers who can compete with these mega merchants?
