May 14th Queen's Gathering
These 20 Queen’s and representatives of area chapters
attended this gathering at Lethbridge Senior Center.
All topics for future events planned for the next few months
were discussed and questions answered. Please view this
page for all particulars.
It was requested that all Queen’s collect numbers and money
to purchase tickets for all events for their chapters. It does
make the sales go more smoothly. Also please be aware when a
set number is stated, sales will end. There are no exceptions
and we are so sorry every Red Hatter that wants to attend isn’t
able to do so. Please contact the Queen for the chapter event
with any questions and do not take the word of just anyone who
say’s “just show up.” This is not the Red Hat way. We regret
that we are growing much too quickly to accommodate every Red
Hatter. Perhaps purchase your tickets first rather than wait.
About the Victorian Stroll............
It was brought to our attention not all Red Hatters
have long skirts, dresses or Victorian dressing. It would not be
the Red Hat Way to turn anyone away for such a reason. As long
as you are dressed in Full Red Hat Regalia which is Red & Purple
or Pink & Lavender you are ALL most welcome to Stroll Henderson
Lake with all other Red Hatters that Matter! You see...we
believe EVERYONE matters! Do come with love in your heart and a
smile on your face and enjoy the stroll with your Parasols and
we will make this a Red Hat Event to remember!!
Your Host Chapter will be at the north end of the
Lake in the Kinsmen Shelter. Please stop by, sign our guest book
and visit. Those with canes or wheelchair bound are most
assuredly welcome to sit in the shelter to view the passing
Ladies and chat with Red Hatters stopping by. It is suggested
that those wishing to sit might want to bring their own lawn
chairs. There are picnic tables, but as we know, they can be
uncomfortable!
Insurance was once again mentioned with mixed emotions. It
was decided that it be an individual chapter decision. If the
majority wish for insurance coverage, every chapter member must
pay to protect the entire chapter as it is a chapter insurance
policy.
