Spring Renewal–June 5, 2014

 

Once again, the Happy Hatters gathered together to renew our commitment to plan and enjoy our upcoming season of fun!  This group of active ladies started out with Queen Judy in 2002 as the Scarlet Ladies!  Then, in 2006, Queen Judy placed a crown on my head and turned over her reign.   Since then, we’ve tried to come together monthly for the simple pleasure of enjoying each other’s company and having a good time.  I think we have succeeded.   We have welcomed some new members, and sadly, we have said goodbye to some of our sisters.

Lots of pics, but no group photo this gathering.  Everyone was so deep in conversation that I didn’t want to disturb the moment!   Smile 

As always, this generous bunch of women brought a bounty of food and goodies!  You can be sure we will never go hungry!  Smile

Big Thanks go to Cora for helping coordinate this event, once again. 

Our schedule for 2014/2015 schedule is as follows.   Maybe.  Smile LOL   We always keep our options open.

July 10 – Lorraine – Singing in the rain with lunch at Antoinetta’s.  Our 15 ticket requirement has been met! 

August – Catherine, Jill, Eileen – Willow Creek Winery – Cape May

September – Joan, Elaine – Batsto Village

also – Sheila, Jeanie, Judy L., Delicious Orchards

***note – some months, we will be doing more than one event.  Of course it’s not necessary to attend everything.  Only those events that you would enjoy.

October – Sheri, Judy W., Marie C. – Cape May Ferry to Lewes, DE and outlet shopping via shuttle.  (note: this event will probably be on a weekend due to the limited shuttle service offered during the off-season)

November – Karen, Marie S. – Mrs. Goulds Holiday Social – Georgian Court University, Lakewood

**note – the plot of this event changes every year, so if you went last year, it won’t be the same story this year.

December – Sheila, Jeanie, Judy L., Marie P., Holiday Cookie Exchange Gathering

January/February 2015 – Connie C., Red Hat Movie Night in the clubhouse.   ??   Maybe.  Smile

March – Carol, Margie, Sue S. – Game Day

April – Jill, Marlene, Mary, Joyce -

Marine Mammal Stranding Center, Brigantine.

May – Sue H., Donna, Marie P.

May 26-28, 2015 – Karen – Red Hats at the Beach – Wildwood.

**note – word through the grapevine that the theme this year will be “country western”.   EEHA!

June, 2015 – Karen, Cora – Annual Renewal

So there it is!   If anything comes along that sounds interesting, but isn’t on the schedule ----so what?   Smile   That’s why we’re called a “dis-organization.   We do as we please, when we please!  

CHICK FLICKS!  Of course we’re always on the lookout for chick flicks.  These are casual events where we leave our red and purple get-ups and home and just meet at the theater at a designated time.  Sometimes we’ll go out to eat before or after.  Sometimes we don’t. 

Jersey Boys will be released on June 20th, so keep a look in you inbox for information related to this.  We may even be able to go to Marie P.’s son-in-law’s restaurant, Fitzpatricks, either before or after.   More to come.

I have updated our membership list and will send it in an email to everyone.

Smile
