Old Bags Luncheon Has A New Purse-onality
®

This was not your average toy drive. Think designer
handbags, a pink vintage car, the soft sounds of an acoustic
guitar and the most incredible weather South Florida has
to offer! Center for Family Services is thrilled to announce
more than 50 guests participated at their first annual Old Bags
Luncheon (OBL) Purse Drive on Jan. 21 in the beautiful Via
®
Amoré on Palm Beach. Guests noshed on delectable passed
hors d’oeuvres, sipped chilled champagne and shopped for
a cause to support mental health in our community.
The event was generously hosted by the 2021 Old Bags
Luncheon Cochair, Daniella Ortiz. Masks were required for
both attendees and volunteers at the event. While enjoying
the refreshments and smiling for the camera, guests were
able to safely social distance in an open-air environment and
mingle in small groups with other steadfast supporters who
share the center’s vision. Highlights of the midday, sunlit
reception included the unveiling of the one-of-a-kind “IT”
bag, designed exclusively for the organization by Ortiz, and
the extremely generous donation of 16 handbags for the silent
auction from donor Nicholas Chavez.
Purse drive guests included Cochair Daniella Ortiz, Karen Swanson and Daniella Ortiz Arlette Gordon and Gail Worth Kristen Bardin and Fabiana DesRosiers

The event produced more than 65 handbags donated for
OBL’s legendary silent auction, collected in a 1955 Dodge
Coronet, graciously donated to the event by the historic
Ragtops Motorcars of West Palm Beach. The organization’s
purse drive was a prelude to the annual committee kickoff
luncheon hosted by The Colony in their newly renovated
East Garden.
This year, the center is celebrating its 60th anniversary
with a Diamond Jubilee, moving the Old Bags Luncheon
from The Breakers to The Colony Hotel and Worth Avenue
as its premier destination.
