RED HATS START THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
|
|
| Stepping out in all their glorious Royal Colors, 131 Red Hat Ladies dressed in Purple & Red or Lavender & Pink, sashayed into the Bridge Clubhouse of the Claresholm Golf Club to attend A Christmas Dinner hosted by Queen Elise and her Foxy Ladies. This is the start of a wonderful Christmas Season for all Red Hatters that Matter! |
 |
 |
Due to the rapid growth of this Red Hat Society, it
has now become a necessity for chapters to sell tickets to
planned events. Each of us with ticket in hand, signed on the
back with our names, dropped them into a large purple basket
to be drawn for door prizes throughout the dinner. What a delicious dinner it was too! Turkey, ham, salads and all the trimmings. The cook was a Red Hatter also and brought many of her own decorations to place around the room adding to the festivities. A 10 foot long table was set with such a fabulous array of desserts to make anyone’s mouth water! We do love our desserts! |
| As in most of these planned events, the Queen’s (there were 15 of us!) paraded around the room to not single them out, but to honor them and their chapterettes attending with them. It’s the Red Hat Way! |
 |
 |
We don’t like to disappoint and it was with that in mind Queen Elise and her Foxy Ladies admirably went about that task for this Christmas dinner. She must have spent countless hours visiting the merchants with the vast amount of prizes and the crafts created by Queen Elise herself. |
|
To all those ladies in a parade that chose to decorate
their Red Hats with a Christmas theme,
|
...they all were gifted with a prize as she said; “too beautiful to choose
a winner”!
|
|
She then called all the Red & Pink Hat ladies with birthday’s in Oct. Nov.
& Dec. to present themselves and then gave each of them a gift! To
say that nearly every lady in the room received some kind of recognition
is the truth, as each chapter that attended brought with them a gift bag
and these were given by drawing names from that big purple basket and
then Queen Elise drew another name to receive the purple basket! |

I must tell you about our entertainer, a lady of wit,
comedy and song, Cynthia Hawkins, a resident of Claresholm did indeed
entertain and had such a rapport with our Red Hat Ladies, one would have
thought she herself was a Red Hatter. Alas, she is not, but some
chapter will be very lucky to have her as a Pink Hatter if she ever
decides to join in our fun as evidenced by her performance!
She was a hoot, the witticism simply rolled off her tongue and what a lovely singing voice too. We do hope to see her again at future Red Hat events!

Don’t forget to check
your website for future events with the hopes other Red & Pink
Hatters can join us. We give our heartfelt thanks for a grand
day spent together in Claresholm with Queen Elise and her Foxy
Ladies!
In Fun & Hilarity,
