The Clarksville Garden Club is hosting a Ladies Luncheon and Purse Auction on Saturday, August 17, 2019, at the Village of the Blue Rose, 12533 Hwy 79, Clarksville, MO 63336. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. with lunch being served at 12:30. The auction will begin after the luncheon.
Representatives of the Clarksville Garden Club were in search of a way to bring some needed funds into the club in order to be a proactive force in helping to landscape the entrance to the Village of the Blue Rose and help with beautification projects after the floods in Clarksville. The committee settled on a Luncheon and Purse Auction as a fun way to sponsor a delightful afternoon for the ladies.
Holly Maffitt, Club President stated, “we are an active club and always looking for ways to be a benefit to our community. The Luncheon and Purse Auction is just a great way to bring people together to help these 2 wonderful places.”
Diana Huckstep, Event Coordinator stated, “I have been to several of these types of events and they are always a great way to mingle. You also stand a great chance of finding just the right purse for you and help to benefit a good cause!”
Auctioneers for the event will be Don and Sue Beck of B & B Auctions. They were highly recommended to the committee. “We are looking forward to a very enjoyable afternoon,” said Ms. Maffitt.
Tickets are $20.00 per person. The cost of the ticket will admit you to the event and pay for your lunch. The purses will be auctioned off separately to the highest bidder and all funds raised from the sale of the purses will go toward both landscaping projects. “There will be quite an array of purses to be sold. “We have everything from a small purse, to the purse you could carry your laptop computer in. If you have never been to a Purse Auction, you are in for a treat!” said Ms. Huckstep.
There is only seating for 50 at the Village of the Blue Rose, so the club is selling pre-purchase tickets the Luncheon and Purse Auction. If you would like to attend just the Auction, you may arrive around 12:45 p.m. There is a small fee to attend just the Auction.
