Edina Model United Nations is holding a clothing drive for professional business attire. Our delegates are required to wear business attire to all conferences. In an effort to remove any barriers, we are holding a clothing drive to collect suits, collared shirts, ties, belts, shoes, pants, skirts, and anything else to pass on to our delegates who might need some clothes for our first conference on Friday, November 14.
We will be collecting clothes for the next TWO WEEKS (Deadline Nov 7), so please take some time to clean out those closets and drop them off .
