Bridesmaid benefit raises money for Kathleen Mary House

Its time to shake the mothballs out of that hardly worn bridesmaids dress and put it to good use. Hamburg businesses The Comfort Zone Cafe and Expressions Floral and Gift Shoppe have teamed up to present the Always a Bridesmaid, Never the Bride fundraiser, which will be held this Saturday, April 14 at the Hamburg American Legion Post No. 527.
Proceeds will in part benefit the Kathleen Mary House, a Southtowns transitional home for women and children victims of domestic violence.
We held this event a few years ago and it went really well, said Zenia Barrett, Comfort Zone manager. This year, we are trying to make it bigger and better.
When the benefit was first held in 2009, Barrett recalls raising more than $1,000 and selling 100 tickets.
