Every Woman Should Have a Purse of Her Own
-Susan B Anthony
…and with the Power of the Purse event on March 17, you, too, can have your very own designer purse as well! That may not be exactly what Susan meant, but this event is a great time to grab a darling handbag all the while raising money for a good cause. The Power of the Purse is a fun “girls night out” hosted by the United Way of Anderson County’s Women’s Leadership Council to raise funds to benefit the teen pregnancy prevention programs in the middle schools of Anderson School Districts Three and Four. A silent auction is held with beautiful designer purses displayed for guests’ perusal throughout the evening, and a live auction is also held with five special purse “packages.” Some of the name brands featured at the event include Kate Spade, Gucci, Michael Kors, Lanvin, Vera Bradley and Dooney & Bourke. In addition to the purses, other auction items include a weekend at Cashiers, a vacation to Turks & Caicos, and a set of tires from Michelin. Heavy hors d’oeuvres prepared by The Red Shutter will be available and Wagner Wealth Management is sponsoring a wine bar.
