By-Laws

The Hat Ladies of Lycoming County is a cHApTer of the national organization, The Hat Ladies, LLC.  It is open for ladies of all ages and backgrounds.  We are open to membership without a predetermined number of members in a group.  We are known for our camaraderie and community service.  We are elegant, graceful and respectful of the traditions of hat wearing.  The Hat Ladies of Lycoming County are not fund-raisers, but fun raisers.

Purpose:  To gather "like-headed"  women who love to wear hats of all types, and give them the confidence and fun, yet meaningful occassions to do so.  Our mantra is "Fashion With Compassion".  We believe that is you look good, you will do good and you will feel good. 
Our "Meet and Eat" will be held on the second Saturday of each month (excluding March & June) at a predetermined place.  Reservations (by email or telephone) or cancellations (by telephone only) must be made by the Wednesday prior to the luncheon.  Any charges incurred by not canceling on time will be passed on to the member.

Dues:  $20.00 per year and are due in May.  Checks should be made out to The Hat Ladies.  You may be a guest at one luncheon prior to joining.  No other reservation will be made until you become a member prior to making it.  Although you may join throughout the year, annual dues will be collected again in May.  Out of town guests are welcomed and encouraged.  Members will have first seating if seating is limited.
If you do not have email, you should submit 12 self addressed, self sealing envelopes and $5.00 to cover the cost of Xeroxing.
