‘Pound in a Purse’ Auction Raises $800 for ENF

On Feb 24th, the DeKalb Elks #765 hosted a Pound in a Purse Auction. The ladies donated their gently used or new purses and put some goodies inside so that others could bid on them. Layne Klatt, the lodge activities coordinator, came up with the idea. Her father in law – Bob Klatt was the auctioneer, her sister in law – Sue Klatt was ‘Vanna’. The event wasn’t just for women….many of the men bought purses for their ladies. Overall the event raised $800 that was donated to the ENF. Great time was had by all!
