The first Power of the Purse Auction/Luncheon will be a benefit for Knoxville and Knox County’s Mobile Meals program. Volunteers purchased purses at their expense and arranged donations from local businesses to fill the purses, such as cosmetics, jewelry, coupons/gift cards, car washes, dry cleaning, floral arrangements and summer camps for children. Attendees can purchase the purses, starting at $25, at “Purse Madness.” A simultaneous silent auction will offer 10-15 designer purses containing prizes such as vacations, sporting events, golf packages and spa packages.
