AZ Red Hats Updates
There is so much going on I hardly know where to begin! Well, you all know I’ve moved into a new home so please do NOT send your convention reservations to the OLD address. New address is 1717 E. Cielo Grand Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85024. It has been quite an experience to say the least. My kids, as I told you before, made me sign a notarized document that I’d NEVER move again! It was quite scary for the first few days until I figured out which light switches turned what on and off! Now a new experience for me is the HOA (Home Owners Assn) I bet you all know what I’m talking about, right? Two weeks AFTER I had my front lawn landscaped I received a letter stating I was in “violation” and to remove my weeds! Good Lord, what weeds! That poor little yard hasn’t had time to vegetate any weeds I thought so I called the HOA and expressed my concerns and asked if by chance they knew the difference between weeds and plants. Well, wouldn’t you know it, the gal said she was new from Atlanta and was not used to the Arizona’s native plants and profusely apologized! Ha! I wonder how long I can get away with not pulling my weeds when they really do start to grow! Ha Ha FRI, SAT, SUN – NOV 4/5/6 Please bring your chapter to West World for the Annual Originals Holiday Gift Show and they want to give all red hatters a $2 discount coupon as long as you are wearing your colors!!

We’ve arranged for Promenade Travel to pick you up and bring you to these events without your worrying. We just need to ensure we have at least 40 on a bus and that isn’t hard to do if a few chapters in your area get together and plan to come. There are so many wonderful upcoming events that we want to make it a wonderful experience for everyone. Call Promenade at 1-866-9 Red Hat or 623-974-8668 if you have questions or want to plan a trip for your group!
Oh,
boy….lots and lots to tell you all and I just don’t know quite where
to begin. I’m all moved in
and trying to get settled but it is hard.
Found my last box of underwear out on the back patio so I’m
really glad that I’m not doing laundry every other day now!

It’s been nearly a year since a very active and vibrant red hatter left us and her loving husband had gathered all her many, many red hats, purple clothes, accessories and even a one-of-a kind painted antique milk can which was written about in a previous newsletter, to give to Sunshine Acres Children’s Home (one of Sue’s favorite charities) to auction off on her behalf. This

Her husband, Norm, has donated all her demure to far-out Red Hats, outfits, jewelry and accessories to the Sunshine Acres Boutique. They are reserving everything exclusively for YOUR shopping visit AFTER your tour and luncheon. Luncheon
