Red Hats’ Tea

When you combine the colors red and yellow you get the color orange. When you combine the colors red and purple you get…friendship.  Recently we combined two groups of ladies who are all members of the “Red Hat Clubs” from both the Manor and Creekside.  Some people may wonder what kind of “club” this is.  The Red Hat Society is an international social organization, originally founded in 1998 in the United States for women age 50 and beyond, but now open to women of all ages.  Today, there are over 20,000 chapters in the U.S. and over 30 other countries.

Our clubs at the Manor and Creekside meet once a month and go out to lunch.  When the club meets ladies wear the colors red and purple.  Most ladies wear matching hats and accessories.  This past month the two groups met together for the first time.  The event was a lavish tea party held at the Clubhouse.  Each lady was able to choose their own antique tea cup from a beautiful collection.  Along with the tea, there were beautiful sweet treats from the Aviary to enjoy.  The ladies visited, won door prizes, and listened to some “old fashioned” advice on courtship.
