Let The Camaraderie and Fun Begin!

Elf Kathy and Santa Hanukkah Archie are here to welcome everyone

Time to take our seat...	Time to Mingle...
Our singing was followed by a "show and tell" where Ladies told the story behind special gifts they received over the years.  Octavia Mitchell, Anchor from WCBD TV, managed to share a special photo before a visitor from the North arrived,	Let the Show Begin: First a letter from  Hatsister Joan, currently hospitalized, who never misses this Luncheon was read.  We sang "I'll be home for Christmas in her honor.
Gotta keep your eye on that Elf! Time for a few more photos before it became, like the song: "Time to Say Good Bye!"	Now we know why more photos weren't taken...our Santa aka our Photographer was waiting in the wing to distribute gift coupons from Affordables
Our Elf hops off the shelf for a photos with the wondrous Wait Staff, decked out in our hat loving spirit	Always time for a few favorite group photos

LAST BUT NEVER LEAST:  ANOTHER HUGE Hat's Off to the BEST WAIT STAFF...ANY WHERE!

But tHAT's not all!  Apparently this fabulous Staff at Water's Edge was so much into the spirit, they took their own photos and sent us a Card saying:  "Thank you from all of Water's Edge!  Merry Christmas."

Jeffrey Deogburn, General Manager, added: "Archie, such a pleasure to host The Hat Ladies for yet another successful Event.  I hope The Ladies (and husband, John) had as much fun as we did. Here are some pics I took to keep up with the tradition. Until the next time."

"REVIEWS" from The Ladies themselves:

Thank you  very much for a joyful and reflective moments from those who "showed and told"

Thank you  for the Affordable's gift!

Octavia Mitchell is an amazing Hatsister, too!  Her story about becoming a newsreporter is inspiring.

It was a lovely Luncheon and very inspiring to see so many old acquaintances.

Today's Luncheon was Wonderful. Great Portions (and great key lime pie).  Loved the Christmas spirit!
