Silver City P.E.O. chapters BR and AG collaborated to hold a purse auction fundraiser to raise money for scholarships for women of any age to further their education. The proceeds went to the PEO Foundation in Nancy Champlin's name. Champlin is serving as state P.E.O. president.
Acknowledgement went to members of the Deming Chapter who were in attendance. They suggested the idea to Silver City chapters.
In addition to selling tickets to the purse auction and auctioning off the purses filled with goodies, other fundraising activities included many items on the silent auction tables, as well as the annual pecan sales.
