Hope for the Holidays"Adopt a purse" Party

I am working on something really awesome for Handbags of Hope.  I am hosting an "Adopt a Purse" Party at Amy's Handbag's and Accessories, on November 21st from 5pm-6pm. 101 Brookside Lane Suite P, Brighton, Mi 48116These handbags are prefilled with 10 essential women's item and then are given the chance to be adopted by others and then are given to Women in Domestic Violence Shelters, Teen Shelters and Women in Transit all over the Michigan Area. We are looking to have 2,300 purses adopted from now through the end of the year.  For a small donation of $10, People can come adopt a purse and write an inspirational message to the recipient of the handbag.  We just need people to come out and help by "adopting" a purse.  Pre register for event by calling Lynn K at 586-604-6907 Can you help us get the word out.  Jackie, the founder of the organization just had 4,300 purses donated to her at a Bay City Conference. We are also looking for businesses that would like to collect hairbrushes and manicure sets for these bags. (Pictured below is just one room of bags of purses)
