School board moves:
Monday's Geneva school board meeting, including the hearing on its proposed budget, has been moved to the cafeteria at Williamsburg Elementary School, because it expects a large turnout of audience members that would not fit in its normal meeting room at the district headquarters on Fourth Street. Williamsburg is at 1812 Williamsburg Ave., Geneva. The meeting starts at 7 p.m.
Cinderella needs clothes:
Cinderella's Closet, an event sponsored each year by the Junior League of Kane and DuPage counties to provide financially challenged young women with prom outfits, is holding a Dress and Accessory Drive.
