SWANCC is looking for creative people to turn garbage into great-looking runway outfits for the Agency's Trashy Fashion Show. In recognition of America Recycles Day observed on November 15th, SWANCC will host a fashion show to showcase trashy fashions on Friday, November 13, 2009, at 7 pm at the Park Center in Glenview.

Who can participate?

 Anyone-students, all grades, and adults-who lives in one of SWANCC's member communities can participate. The "trashy fashions" need to be created from materials destined for the garbage - NOT purchased materials! 
Three complimentary accessories made from trash should be included.

SWANCC will be hosting informational workshops where you will find out project criteria, learn techniques from a local artist and create a unique trash-to-treasure piece. You must attend one of the following workshops to be part of the Trashy Fashion Show or send a representative:

          Thursday, April 23, 2009, 6:00-8:00 pm
          Wednesday, May 27, 2009, 6:00-8:00 pm

The workshops will be held at SWANCC's office in Glenview and light refreshments will be served. If you plan to attend a workshop, registration is required at swancc.org/trashyfashionsworkshop.
 
There is no fee to participate in this program, but space is limited (20 per workshop) and will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be emailed a confirmation notice with additional details for the workshop once you are registered. SWANCC reserves the right to cancel a workshop if less than 10 people are registered or will add workshops on an as-needed basis.

If you have questions about this project, please contact SWANCC's Recycling and Education Director, Mary Allen, at mary@swancc.org or call (847) 724-9205, extension 204.
