Fendi, Coach, MAXX, Mary Frances, Vera Bradley! Ladies, do you love fashionable designer handbags but hate to pay the steep price tags?
The Friends of the Morris Museum will again host an Old Bags Luncheon on Thursday, April 17, 2008 at The Morris County Golf Club in Morristown, featuring a silent auction of more than 100 new, gently used and vintage handbags at great prices!
Don’t be confused by the name! The Old Bags Luncheon is for both the young and the old who simply must have fabulous designer handbags. Mrs. Eileen Cornacchia created the concept of the “Old Bags” luncheon in 1997 to benefit a charity in Palm Beach, Florida. The concept was so successful across the country that Cornacchia trademarked the name.
The Morris Museum’s Old Bags Luncheon includes an enjoyable lunch and an entertaining presentation.
For more information or to donate a bag, please call the Friends office at 973.971.3733.

Dodge Foundation accepted the Morris Museum's Community Spirit Award. Grant accepted the award on behalf of the Foundation. The 2008 recipients have not yet been announced.
