31 Jul Our New Website!
Since its first small gathering almost 7 years ago, the IN THE BAG charity luncheon has netted over $350,000 in critical relief funds that have allowed The American Red Cross of the National Capital region to help needy families following disasters.
This is an amazing testament to the generosity of our community and it is also a powerful statement about the concern and commitment of all of the women who work year after year to make this event one that can, quite literally, move ladies to open their purses for the good of others.
In planning for this November’s IN THE BAG charity luncheon, the Steering Committee wanted to find ways to make this year truly spectacular. The committee is working to make it not only a wonderful way to spend an afternoon but also a day of giving that surpasses the donations of all other years.
To help in achieving these goals, the Steering Committee decided to redesign the IN THE BAG website so that it offered more information on the importance and impact of your donations, as well as making it easier for you to support IN THE BAG through purse donation, raffle purchases, sponsorship or registration to attend on November 4, 2016. Our beautiful new website was designed by local web designer and IN THE BAG Steering Committee Member, Lauren Terry of Terry Design Co.
Without further delay, please let us introduce the new IN THE BAG website to you!
The new site has a different URL, inthebagrc.com and it is particularly designed for easy viewing and use on any type of device, including your phone, tablets and laptops. The entire site is also designed to have visual impact and to provide information in such a way that you don’t have to hunt down what you are looking for.
While the main pages, e.g. Purses, Raffle, Sponsor, etc., remain you will find some nice, new features. So please let’s take a moment to ‘scroll’ through the pages of our new site, with an eye out for ….
