Power of the Purse
Purses = Books (if it's purses donated for the Silent Purse Auction)! Donating a new (or gently used) purse to the ever popular Silent Purse Auction will benefit children enrolled in the imagination Library program. Every $30 raised will provide one child with a year of free books - one every month - mailed directly to their home. Your purse donations are appreciated!
June 11, 2013 • 8th Annual Power of the Purse at the Kahler Grand Hotel – Heritage Hall. Serving as this year’s event chair is Women's Leadership Council's member Carmen Kane.
