The CHS Beta Club sponsored its first annual Say Yes to the Dress event last week. Over 130 prom dresses were donated to the club, allowing the CHS young ladies the opportunity to find a dress of their choice for prom. The event was a success, with 21 young ladies securing a dress for prom. The Beta Club plans to continue this event each year.
