Red Hat Society - Tidbits From Hatquarters



your LETTERS
	Meet the Dazzlin Divas of Langley, British Columbia, Canada. Twenty-five proud Supporting Members lead by their Queen Jo-Jo (Joan Catonio). Queen Jo-Jo's chapter has been hatting since August 2005. "When supporting membership was first introduced we discussed our options and decided that the RHS meant enough to us that we would all become Supporting Members. Without this great organization many of us would not have met and found the friendships we now enjoy." Our ladies from Canada know how to do hatting right!
Do you have a clever story about how Supporting Membership was introduced within your chapter? Send it to stories@redhatsociety.com
membership GIFT A Queen Member Board sister discovered through reading posts on the QMB that another poster/sister was experiencing tough economic times in her tiny hamlet and had expressed concerned that she might be forced to leave hatting and the friendship of the QMB for a while until better times prevailed. Well, the first hatter decided that the second hatter might decide to postpone going out to lunch for a while but never would she allow another QMB sister to give up her connection to the QMB and the wonderful relationships that can be found there. This was not the time to give up the support that she would need in the coming months. With anonymous generosity, she gave her a gift membership renewal to cover her membership until her ship came in. What an example of the magic in the hat! More info
