My Fair Hat Ladies, Kimberly Rhea was a delightful young lady and I was hatpy to be able to present her a check for $250 on behalf of all of The Hat Ladies. She is a new graduate of Jersey Shore High School and will attend Lock Haven University in the fall. Hats off to Kimberly! And her young Mother, Cindy. I hope everyone enjoyed The Puttin on The Hatz DVD. You can still get one for $8 donation. (Let me know and I will deliver @ the August luncheon).
AUGUST 13th: DO YOU HAVE THAT DATE CIRCLED ON YOUR CALENDAR? WE WILL MEET & EAT @ The Watson Inn in Watsontown. It is located at 100 Main St. The menu includes a large chef salad, assorted dressings, assorted muffins, chocolate cake with peanut butter icing (non-fattening of course) and coffee, tea, and ice tea for $11.00 (inclusive). Cash only please! PLEASE EMAIL ME OR CALL ME @ 570-546-2012 0R 570-974-1020 BY TUESDAY AUGUST 9th IF YOU ARE COMING. No cancellations (telephone only) after 8/9/05. We will be in the front room. Ample parking in the rear. All reservations must be honored.
Directions: The bridge on Rt 15 is closed, the one @ White Deer exit before Milton, so if you are coming down Rt 15 South, turn left @ the signal light in Allenwood, cross the river before Dewart and then continue on the road to Watsontown (Rt 54 from Montgomery). A right hand turn @Rt147 and it will take you directly to downtown Watsontown. It is @ 100 Main St. Others taking the beltway will get off @ the Watsontown exit and follow directions until you hit downtown Watsontown. The Inn has a wonderful ambience of the Victorian Era. The program is "Learn how to pack, store, clean and wear your hats."
SEPTEMBER MEET & EAT: ALL ABOARD!!!!! It's time to let your family in on all the fun we have. Put a hat on them and bring them with you. We will have a family picnic @ the Hiawatha landing pier picnic grounds (the foot of Arch St) and then board the Hiawatha for a ride up the Susquehanna River. It is being catered by Kalico Kafe. Box lunches will consist of marinated chicken breast on greens, sautéed veggies, and fresh fruit, Kalico's delicious homemade Honker Bun, a chocolate bar cookie and ice tea or lemonade. All this coupled with your ticket for the Hiawatha will be $16.00 (a real bargain). There will be a special box lunch for children under 10 for $8.00. ALL RESEVATIONS MUST BE MADE BY AUGUST 18TH and ALL RESERVATIONS MUST BE HONORED. WE HAVE TO PREPAY FOR THE HIAWATHA, SO PLEASE GET YOUR RESERVATION IN ASAP. IT IS GOING TO BE A FUN TIME THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS.
UNDER THE HAT: I am looking for someone to head up the Charleston trip from this end. Please let me know if you are interested.
Prayers go out to Barb Weaver (who is recovering nicely & back to work), Louise Ulmer, Jane Hart, Jo'an Settlemyer and Mary Moriarity. If you would like any of their addresses to email them or send a card, please let me know.
BLACK HAT: on a very sad note, Audrey Murdock has resigned her position as Rector @ Jersey Shore Episcopal Church. She is such a very special lady. We will miss her terribly and I know she will bring joy wherever she goes! God's blessings and our love go with you, Audrey! Keep in touch with us and keep wearing your hat!

P.S. In case you heard, my husband and I will be going to South Carolina the 25th of October and will be there until March 31st.(with a few short trips home in between) My daughter, Cindy, has graciously consented to take over in my absence. I will be busy planning your events in Charleston if anyone decides to come down this year. Cindy is going to need help with each meeting, so I am asking for volunteers for each meeting to help collect money, put out nametags, take pictures that can be sent to me by email or developed on a CD. November is covered by Louise Eakin, but the rest are up for grabs. I would like for you to continue to have a good time each month with the least amount of work from anyone. I have already made the arrangements for lunch, programs, etc.
We have a committee for the Promenade…if anyone would like to help, please let me know ASAP.
