Join us for a live auction of new, unique and gently used Purses for Every Occasion sponsored by P.E.O. Chapter BR. The auction will be held on September 30 at the First Presbyterian Church, 1915 N. Swan Street.  There will be food, fun and fashion with purses on auction and others available for sale.  Raffles of unique items from merchants in Silver City will also be available. 

P.E.O. (Philanthropic Education Organization) raises scholarship funds to help women achieve their educational goals.  Previous P.E.O. auctions have provided funding for 11 women from Grant County to pursue further education.  This has included graduating high school seniors, students in college seeking to complete their education and women returning to school to complete degrees.
