Red Hat
Society (RHS) members strutted their favorite Red Hat Costumes and Regalia at Queen
Bridget’s, Ebony and Ivory Sassy Hatters (EISH), meet and greet luncheon. This was also an event to sign new chapter
members and give insight into what the RHS is about. Scheduled were talent, dancing, dining and
most of all meeting other ladies who were there to have fun.
Hatters are
known for tea and tea parties. At each place setting was a box containing, a
tea cake, two candies, a tea bag and a honey stick.
There were hooped skirts,
pirate costumes, pajamas, poodle skirts and general Red Hat regalia.
EISH members dressed in 1950’s poodle skirts, fitted sweater tops, hair scarves
and head bands, bobby socks, tennis and I even saw a pair of red, high-heeled
sneakers.
One member
of the Flamboyant Prima Donnas sang Help
Me Make It Through the Night. Members of Fellowship of Friends did a
coordinated dance routine. Members from
the Red Hot Mamas had us all laughing and participating in their exercise
routine done to Tooty ta
Lunch included
savory, skinless, baked chicken breasts, spring greens salad with fruit and
cheese, seasoned baked vegetable medley, rolls and iced tea. For dessert, red
velvet cake (which is the RHS signature dessert) along with a dollop
of lemon mousse inside a chocolate candy shell.
Of course
every RHS event has the 50/50 cash drawing. Attendees purchase tickets for a
set price. The money goes into a pot. If a person’s number is called she wins
half of what is in the pot with the other half going to the hosting chapter.
Since RHS is a non-profit, this money is used toward sponsorship of future events.
Other funding efforts include auctions, and ticketed gift basket drawings. Of
course members pay a fee to attend the various events.
Dancing,
entertainment, door prizes, food and innocent mayhem is definitely a part of
the fun at all of the events I have attended. We were all surprised at being
gifted a selfie stick from EISH as we left the event.
