We are so excited about our upcoming fundraisers! I hope that you will join us on Monday, February 8th at 8pm to design your own personalized handbag! We will have a representative from 1154 Lill showing off the company’s many bag styles and design choices. 1154 Lill offers a vast variety of bag styles from clutches and make-up bags to hobo and baby bags (over 40 bag styles). Once you pick your style, you are able to select from over a hundred fabrics and design your own bag. Bags can combine several different fabrics, piping and hardware to produce a truly original bag to call your own. Depending on the style of the bag, prices start at $28 depending on the style. Bags will be professionally sewn and delivered to your door within a couple weeks. This is a really fun and creative night out! The fabrics are beautiful and the choices numerous. Please send $5 to reserve your spot to Tracey Lawson at 77 Poplar Street. The $5 will be donated to our charity and place you in a raf¾e for a manicure/pedicure! All are welcome whether club members or not. Check out the company at www.1154lill.com, you will not be disappointed with their choices and styles! The evening will be held at Tracey Lawson’s home. I hope you will join us for cocktails and snacks and get your creative juices ¾owing! Please support our charity by attending this event. Contact Tracey at 741-5561 with any questions!
