Hatters Gather!
Once a month for the past two years, Red Hatters have been travelling all over the province of Ontario, Canada, for “High Tea.” Thanks to Hatters Lynn Friedman, Deb Furber, Brenda Parkes, Bettye Weaver, and Betty Brinkman, the ‘Old Tea Bags’ came into existence. Jan Lukas, Queen of the The Divas of Ancaster (Ancaster, Ontario, Canada) and participant in the Old Tea Bags group, writes, “Red Hatters from all over the province have met and many great friendships have sprung up throughout the province. Thanks to the Red Hat Society for allowing us to meet and what a huge advantage of joining the Red Hat Society! I personally owe so much to these fine ladies as I would never have been to so many of these fabulous establishments nor met so many phenomenal women at these teas.” Their most recent event was a Christmas Tea in Toronto.
Tea in a Blizzard
Queen Leeota Calentine of the River Rubies (Bellevue, Nebraska, United States) didn’t let a major December blizzard keep her from having fun! When she saw the heavy layer of snow carpeting her lawn, she decided to host her own tea party! Leeota says, “I didn’t have to ‘shape’ any of the ladies, it was the way the snow fell. I have 89 Red Hats and decided to loan a few of them to the ‘ladies’ for my Tea party. All I had to do was shovel my way to the patio furniture set on my back porch, and give the ladies hats, glasses, scarves and lips (whistle lips I procured at the Topeka, Kansas Over the Rainbow Red Hatters Tea I attended in the fall of 2009)!” What a fabulous tea party!
The Red Hat Society is a global sisterhood of women who have found fun and friendship after 50.
