The purse auction, chaired by Aletha Watley, will include over 180 new and gently used purses, some designer and many unique. The silent auction, chaired by Carol Medders, will include gift certificates to area restaurants, theater venues, golf courses, beach condo and businesses, as well as jewelry and decor. A Buy-It-Now Booth, chaired by Kathy Norden, will include lots of new and gently used items at great prices.
