A Fashion Merchandising class is presenting a fashion show December 7, 2011, in the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room to benefit Operation Smile, which provides free cleft lip and cleft palate repair surgery for children in more than sixty countries.

Doors open at 6:00 p.m., and the show will start at 7:00 p.m. Admission is free; however, guests are asked to make a donation to Operation Smile. The show has been organized by students in the class Fashion Merchandising 481 Fashion Promotion.
