(Initial Post)

We  were so appreciative you Ladies were able to volunteer your time at the 104th Annual Conference of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. Your hats of course were delightful, but we most appreciated your willingness to be a part of our effort to show our community's hospitality to the more 1400 conference attendees from across the country.

You Hat Ladies helped to make that happen, which contributed to the overall success of the conference!  Wishing you all the best, and hope our organizations will have an opportunity to combine efforts again in the future. Gwendy Harris. ASALH Volunteer Coordinator”

(Special Note:  Even more hatsisters had signed on for this Event but had irresolvable conflicts as it drew closer.  Nonetheless, we were singled out as one of the three top groups providing volunteers),
