Queens Gathering March 11, 2009

OLD: We are still asking all Queen’s to renew their Chapters with the new package of $39.00 and chapertettes to join in the push
  to become full members with $20.00 membership fee.
  The Queens attending this gathering have or are going to renew.
 PLEASE NOTE:
  If only the Queen renews, only SHE will have her full membership
  with her Purple Perks card.
  
Any chapterettes NOT renewing with full membership of $20.00 will
  NOT be considered Red Hatters within the Red Hat Society.

  The Queen cannot register for all her members nor for any event with just HER Purple Perks number and the Chapter number.

 

  Many are concerned we do not receive any real benefits from the P.P.
  Cards.  Let me re-assure you, we do!
  You may check this out by going to redhatsociety.com/membership

  These are Super Savers powered by Entertainment Inc. currently
  available only in North America.  Check out what you get in Canada!

  If you know of a Queen that does not have access to a computer, help    her out!….  It’s what we do ladies!  

 

  I would assume that we have the rest of the year 2009 to settle this
  dilemma as Chapters have different months to renew.
  Where else do you know of an organization that does not have dues?

 

 KALISPELL
  Queen Mum Sandy received a note from Kalispell upon her inquiry
  that several Canadian Members have not received a confirmation
  of their registration.
 Answer:
  If Queens email a list of ladies that have registered from their chapter,
  She will follow up with a simple respond that those on the list have    registered.  If there is anyone on their list that is NOT on her list, she    will let  the Queen know.
  She realizes that many Canadians paid with Money Orders and do    not get a copy of that back.  So please, indicate your Chapter Name    and an email address or Fax that she can send a message to confirm
  your list.  Please email
flatheadredhats@yahoo.com 
  or Fax the list to 1-406-752-6571
  

 

 QUEEN’S LIST:
  Lady Barb sent out a recent copy of all Chapters.  If you know of any     changes or additions to this list please let Lady Barb know @
  
BJH27 at TELUS dot NET   Thank you.

  
Lavender & Lace has a new Queen:
Queen Sheryl Chase (plz email Lady Barb with Queen Sheryl's ph #)
with her V.Q. Diana Cossette

  There is a
New Queen & Chapter:
Queen Linda Kish of Giddy Grannie’s. (Welcome & congrats!)
  
 
QUEEN’S GATHERING PLACE:
  Discussion for new place and more of us to look into a restaurant
  as to new gathering site that is a bit more private.
  Since all places checked so far require a payment  fee, Churches,    Library, restaurants and we do not have the funds, the option left to    us is to purchase a meal to get the room free.  Perhaps we will have    more Queen’s to join us if we go for lunch??
   After all ladies,  IT’S WHAT WE DO!  (TBA)

 

 QUEEN to QUEEN BROADCAST:
  Queen’s you must read these to keep abreast of what is happening
  within the Red Hat Society and pass this information on to your
  Chapterettes. The same goes for our Lethbridge web site.  Keeping    communications open as they do get together with other chapters and    find out these things and when you don’t inform them it becomes a    bone of contention.  We want Happy Red Hatters~!
