Fancy That! dress sale planned

The third annual Fancy That! Formal Dress Sale will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 30 in the third-floor lobby at the Southeast Missouri State University Center, 1 University Plaza in Cape Girardeau. Every year, gently used formal dresses are donated by members of the community to be resold at a reduced price to give young women in the area affordable options when it comes to going to prom or other formal events. The resale event is part of the annual Southeast Serves campaign to provide community-service opportunities for university students. All proceeds benefit local not-for-profit agencies, including the Cape Girardeau Safe House for Women.
