It was a privilege to work on the 2012 Old Bags Luncheon benefiting Crosstown Learning Center. CLC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and has been an anchor in the Kendall-Whittier area for over forty-three years. Crosstown is curriculum-based and provides nationally accredited early care and learning opportunities for children ages 6 weeks to prekindergarten. Crosstown cares for children of all economic levels, but many of the children enrolled are dependent on childcare subsidies from the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. The funds raised at the Old Bag Luncheon directly impact the children at Crosstown Learning Center and allow us to continue to offer the best educational opportunities for these very deserving children and their families.
At the event, hundreds of new and gently used handbags were sold in a silent auction, valued from $10 to $1000. Guests also had the opportunity to purchase Mystery Bags and Raffle Tickets for 15 different raffle packages and the Big Bag Raffle which was a $5000 necklace from William Noble of Dallas, TX. Over 370 guests were treated to a delicious luncheon by the Southern Hills Country Club dining staff.
The Leslie Group provided the design for all the printed materials from the Save the Date postcards to the Programs and Signage for the event. We also provided a Powerpoint presentation. As always, it was a pleasure working with Elizabeth Inbody, Co Edwards and Debbi Guilfoyle from Crosstown.
