AZ Red Hats Updates
Happy New Year! Where did 2005 go? I just don’t know! But I’m ready and anxious for 2006 that is for sure! As I reflect on the events of last year, we have so much to be thankful for considering all the devastation that has happened throughout the world. I know it has affected so many people’s lives. Our RHS chapters and its members continue to amaze me with their generous giving of monies, time and support to those in need. You all are truly amazing women and I tip my RED hat to you. SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 2006 – 5 YEARS!!! This update will be short and sweet, as I must stay focused on Arizona’s 5th state convention that is just a few days away, Saturday, January 28, 2006! The excitement is already starting to build and I know I can hardly contain myself because it just thrills me no end to see all the smiling faces, hear the giggling and watch the fun being had on that day. One thing that I especially enjoy is to be dressed incognito and mingle with the crowds in the vendor pavilion and hear the ooh’s and aah’s when someone finds a “WOW” that they just can’t live without OR to hear someone leaving the grand ballroom and telling their friends what fun they’ve had. We still have great seats available! Below are some key points to remember:
AZ State Convention – January 28, 2006 Since the convention is much earlier this year than last, we still have room if you or any of your chapter members wish to come to the convention. Please note on the registration form of my new address. I’m so excited about this year’s entertainment. Our main headliner will be Dr. Maxine, humor therapist. She entertained at the National convention in Las Vegas and she will be our headliner at the Arizona State Convention. Visit her website at

Ladies, the memories of loosing one of our members never seems to go away especially when it happens so suddenly and so tragically. 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
will be a wonderful luncheon and heartfelt day for all those that new her
and Norman Watson would like to invite any and all of you to come together
in friendship to honor Sue. You
also can donate items that you do not wear any more or are too large or
don’t fit any more if you like. You
can contact
One Year Memorial Luncheon
One short year ago we were saddened to loose our red-hat sister and 2004 Calendar Girl, Sue Watson to a tragic auto accident. 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
highlights will include a silent auction of Norm’s Red Hatter milk can
creation as well as a “Strictly Sue designed” new hat creation donated
by Louis Hons from the Palm Springs Hat Company.
(She had to be one of his better customers!)
Sue
was involved for 30+ years with Sunshine Acres.
We can help perpetuate her efforts by participating in this event.
Their Boutique is always a classy adventure every visit!
Who can pass up an opportunity for fun, shopping and for a
deserving cause! This will be
a great chapter event and will sell out fast!

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
