Looking for designer bargains? Check out Central Union Church Thrift Shop's Spring Fashion Show, 6 to 9 p.m. today at the parish hall. Runway names include Tommy Bahama and Ralph Lauren for men, and Jessica McClintock and St. John for women — all for sale.

Proceeds go to the thrift shop's outreach programs that include furniture donations for needy families and college scholarships. The free event includes a potluck supper, silent auction and music by Puamana. And yes, the clothes are new. For details: 440-3055.

    FINAL WORD

    "I'm here to change people's hearts and minds, to say something that's right for a change. ... from telling people to stop being so cliche... to stop giving drab acceptance speeches."
