Hello Ladies,
* Wow! It’s already time to turn our clocks ahead (March 8th) for Daylight Savings Time. Does this mean spring is almost here?
* Many thanks to our February hostesses, Red Hats’ Aud Maude and The Princess of Note for our Anniversary Affairre! It was great to have so many join the celebration and welcome Ballistic Brenda as our new Vice Queen.
* Our March hostesses, Norman Joy (Joyce Chevrier), Jovial June (Nolan), and The Red Maple are busy planning a fun Affairre! for us on Saturday, March 14 beginning at 12:00 p.m. at Days Inn. Please RSVP by Thursday, March 12 to give them lots of time to prepare for us. We will be ordering from the menu this month.
* This month we’re having an Extra Affairre! By popular demand we’re gong to have another murder Mystery Party at my house Friday, March 27. The evening will begin with a pot luck supper. I need to know by March 14 if you plan to attend so that I have time to let you know what your identity will be for the evening and a little about the mystery and costume suggestions. Please keep in mind that the murder mystery games I have were all written for mixed parties so if you really don’t want to play a male role you should tell me that when you RSVP. The games are written for 8 players but extras can be added. If we have enough for 2 or 3 groups it will be even more fun.
* This month’s birthday girls are Princess Patricia, Vice Queen Ballistic Brenda, and me! My apologies to last month’s birthday girls. They were The Red Hatter and Artistic Shirley. Remember – if your birthday is not on our list please be sure to let me know so that I can include it in your month.
* Plans are going well for our upcoming minivention April 25-26. Registrations are due by March 16. We still have a few craft tables available. So far we have Red Hatters coming from Thunder Bay, Atikokan, Fort Frances, Winnipeg, and several other places. Don’t miss the opportunity to meet these ladies and share a fun weekend with them. I’ll have more registration forms at our next Affairre! but if you can get yours in sooner it will really help. A couple of you have asked about the meals. We’ll be having buffets for both dinner and breakfast so there will be lots of choices.
* Last year’s July 1 parade in Keewatin was such a success that they’re planning another for this year and we’re invited to take part again. It’s a lot of fun and no one has to walk to take part. We were provided with a trailer last year and were helped onto and off of it by handsome young men. All along the parade route we heard, “Look, there are the Red Hatters!”, “Love your hats!” and lots of other accolades. What could be more fun? I’ll have more information about it as the date gets closer.
* There’s something else I’ve forgotten to bring up at our last three Affairre!s. I think the city’s Christmas tree looks great with the bows we donated a couple of years ago but there are only enough to cover one side of it. Maybe this year we can give some more to make sure the tree looks magnificent instead of just great. What do you think?
* See you all on the 14th!
