My Fair Hat Ladies,
August was a g-g-g-g-g-great month! The Olympics and The Little League World
Series! And what a "gold medal" time we had at Jeremiah's. It was so much fun
to get to know all about each other. Who knew that Nessie had a matching
fishing outfit or that Astrida was from Latvia and Audrey was from England or
Pauline was a mayor? We will definitely do that again. Please check out our
website, www.hatladieslycoming.org. for pictures. Everyone looking gorgeous I
might add!
SEPTEMBER 11TH "Meet & Eat":
1200 noon @ The Penn Wells Hotel located in Wellsboro, Pa. They have a new
chef!! It will be a buffet for $10.50 (inclusive). Purchase your ticket in the
lobby for lunch upon arrival. Since it is the anniversary of 9/11, let's make
it a patriotic luncheon to honor those who died so tragically as well as those
who are fighting for our country and to remember what a great place the good old
U.S.A. really is. Put on your red, white or blue come join us in Wellsboro. It
takes about an hour to get there, but the trip is absolutely beautiful. If you
would like to car-pool or don't know the way, you can meet at the back of
Wegman's Parking lot. We will leave the lot @ precisely 10:30 am. LizTews will
put on a Trunk Show with clothes & hats from "The Blue Thistle". The clothes
and hats are "to die for." Her shop is right across the street, so you may
want to shop after the luncheon. Ask anyone who went last year and they will
give her clothes rave reviews.
Reservations:
must be made by Tuesday, September 7th.
Please remember that you may make reservations by email or telephone, but
cancellations should be done by telephoning me @ 570-546-2012. If I do not

Weis, Wal-Mart), prepaid gas cards, phone cards, disposable cameras, toilet
tissue, paper towels, light bulbs, Kleenex, garbage bags, cough drops and
batteries are some of the things that are on the list. You can bring them to
the September Meet & Eat and we will see that they get them. We will also pass
the Hat for Hatpy dollars @ the luncheon. If you have something that you are
hatpy about, like a birthday or anniversary or just being alive, or living in a
great country, give a hatpy dollar to help end abuse & violence.

Thanks to all of you who volunteered to model on October 10th or November 20th.

Meet & Eat.

If you have a product or craft that you would like to advertise in our
Newsletter or on our Website, please see me and I will let you know all of the

Award Fund and you get to tell the Hat Ladies about your product.

please return to me at the end of the luncheon.

It is going to be a time to remember! See you in Wellsboro.
