Montebello : Gang-Diversion Program Plans Second Fashion Show

The Montebello Gang Diversion Task Force will have its second annual Youth Fashion Show on Sunday at the Wyndham Hotel in Commerce.

Twenty-five high school students who participate in city gang-diversion programs will model clothes donated by merchants in the Montebello Town Center.

Tickets are $25. A social hour begins at 11 a.m., lunch is at noon and the fashion show starts at 1 p.m.

Proceeds from the show will benefit the gang-diversion task force.

“The show allows participants to come away with a more positive feeling about themselves and, hopefully, encourage them to continue working toward a responsible, productive adulthood,” Montebello Mayor William Molinari said.

The Wyndham Hotel is at 5757 Telegraph Road in Commerce. Information: (213) 722-8402 or (213) 725-1804.
