The Junior Service League of Beaufort is creating a Prom Boutique for high school girls… and they need your gently used dresses!

It may only be January, but that doesn’t mean area girls aren’t beginning to think about Prom. That’s right… Prom will be here before you know it; and Juniors and Seniors all over Beaufort County are starting to think about the perfect dress to compliment the most anticipated night of their high school career.

Right on the heels of Beaufort’s tricentennial, the Parish Church of St. Helena celebrates 300 years.

The world is new each morning – that is God’s gift, and a man should believe he is reborn each day.
