organization has grown so over the past 10 years.
Yes, 10 years! 2008

to celebrate in my book! The
National Hatquarters in
Celebrate!!! And when someone asks you if it is your birthday because you are wearing a purple hat, you can tell them, “no, but it is the Red Hat Society’s 10th birthday and that is reason to celebrate!” January 13, 2008 – PJ Game @ Herberger – 1 PM ~ Wear your jammies

1, 2008 – AZ RED HAT CONVENTION - Now that the holidays are
nearly behind us, it is time to begin thinking about all the fun we want
to have with our red hat friends next year and there is still time to
reserve your seat at the upcoming AZ Red Hat Convention on March 1, 2008.
There will be lots of new vendors coming from other parts of the
country so you won’t want to miss shopping for some new bling, bling,
red or purple regalia and who knows what else! We
have our entertainers excited about coming to perform for you and Kacey
Jones from Nashville is a real cute gal with a wonderful sense of humor
whom you will just love and then there will be a very handsome man who
will sweep you off your feet, ladies so come and enjoy this day of fun
with your red hat sisters! March
8, 2008 – 3rd Annual You will need to make one reservation for your group because you will save money! There is a $7.50 charge for one reservation; therefore if you have 10 ladies going, you can divide that charge up between you. Each ticket is $36.00 and a great savings. Call the toll free # at 888-686-8587, ext. #11 and ask for Jana Goupil. She is the Group Sales Manager and the one to make your reservations with for this very popular show. Be sure to wear your red hat regalia! http://www.azredhats.com/az2008menopause.htm
Red Hat Travel Trips – What a joy it is to travel with the red hatters as we seem to have become celebrities when seen in our full regalia. Don’t wait to sign up or you’ll miss out on loads of fun and a chance to make lasting memories!
‘Tis the season of hustling and bustling and I must share with you what one of our chapters chose to do this holiday season in lieu of a gift exchange. They chose to purchase blankets, sweaters, socks, slippers, Fry’s and Wal-Mart Gift cards for seniors who live below the poverty level and have no family members to visit them at the holidays. So many of the red hatters agreed it was the best feeling ever, knowing they were putting a smile on someone’s face and lifting their spirits. A local organization called HomeInstead Senior Care sponsors this wonderful program called “Be a Santa to a Senior” and it is just like the angel trees in the malls only these “senior” trees can be found in the Sam’s clubs throughout the valley. If your chapter would like to think about doing this next year, you can call them directly at 623-583-5868. I know we are not about helping others but it sure does feel good and the community does enjoy seeing the red hatters spreading joy!
