LWV Glad Rags, Old Bags fundraiser

 Spring hats added to the festive atmosphere as women gathered at the St.Clair Manor to join League of Women Voters in their Glad Rags, Old Bags event.  The proceeds of this fund raiser will be used to fund activities and events to raise voter awareness on community issues. 

Beautifully set tables with fine teacups greeted guests as they entered the magnificent home built by Henry St. Clair for his wife Ella. A silent auction of gently used purses continued during the afternoon as the women shared delicious hors d’oeuvres by Montage with tea and punch. 

Adding to the ambiance of the afternoon was the “glad rags” part of the afternoon as Youniques shared spring and summer fashions.  The models, members of the League of Women Voters, descended the elegant mahogany stairs to stroll among the guests, showing off the their garments and accessories. 

The final buyers of the purses found numbers inside corresponding to the number on one of the many treasures.  Many community businesses and individuals contributed to this LWV fund raising activity.  They were Aaron Cox and Montage, Mike Pressnall and St. Clair Manor, Hala Knapke and Lelah Shoop at Youniques, Ann’s Gift Shop, Jan Boyer, Kay Davis, Brenda’s Beanery, Christina’s Consignment, Granny’s Corner, Headliners Again, Immanence Massage, Marie Boas, Kitchen Aid Experience, Eileen Litchfield, Merle Norman, Michael’s Fine Jewelry and Clocks, Pamela’s Intimate Apparel, Physiotherapy Associates, Readmore’s Hallmark, Tangles, The Beauty Shop, Thirty one, Wayne Healthcare, Wieland’s Jewelry, YMCA and Christy Baker, Phyllis Thomas, and Lyn Bliss.
