NOVEMBER MEETING: HATS OFF!!
I have received rave reviews about the good time everyone had at Valley View. I
hear the food, the service and most of all the residents were wonderful. You
brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. Cudos to Louise Eakin & the Staff of
Valley View who planned and served the luncheon, Cindy Craddock, Jean
Steinbacher, Barb Weaver, and Jane Miller for all of their help.

HAT CHAT:
While I was in Charleston, I attended the Hat Ladies of Charleston's Meet & Eat,
in fact, I was their guest speaker. At my table were three of my best high
school girlfriends, and my sister-in-love, Faye. Needless to say, I raved about
all of you and how we have grown and continue to grow. There are so many ways
for us to use our talents to help others and if you have a special project
please let me know. We will start a monetary scholarship for a high school girl
that meet the requirements of looking good and doing good.
This is a short but sweet newsletter. I really missed all of you. You are the
greatest Hat Ladies in the world. See you in December @ The Genetti with your
decorated shoe box that has a lid that can be lifted off.
Hats & hugs,
Anne
