The Crimson
Crones 3rd Annual Spring Fling, which was renamed as The Sandie
Heinz Spring Fling in honor of the creator of this event, was held on
March 18 at the beautiful Broetje House in Milwaukie. The
theme this year was “The Mad Hatter”. In
attendance were 80 ladies from a variety of chapters all dressed in their
finest attire. A
scrumptious lunch of chicken fettuccini, broccoli salad, tossed green
salad, oven fresh rolls and chocolate mousse was served. There
was a hat contest with categories of Mad Hatter’s Choice, Alice’s
Favorite, and Cheshire Cat’s Purrfect Hat. The three
lucky winners each won a red hat. At
least 25 door prizes were given away. Jean Bryant (see row 1,
photo 3), Duchess of
Drama, once again entertained us with some “hat facts”, and Mary
Laurie and Sherrie Wilson of the Snazzy Jazzy’s
entertained us with piano music and group singing. Lori and Kevin
from the Bright Yellow House was there to show us her fabulous,
"one-of-a-kind" hats (See row 3, photo1).
A special
few moments of silence was observed for Sandie Heinz, a Crimson
Crone, who passed on March 8 (See row 1, photo 1).
Special
thanks from Hostess Jean Mounsey (row 1, photo 2 - right) to Jackie Nicolay, Diana
Fitzpatrick, Shirley Ann Shipman, Linda Brown and Jean Bryant for
helping to make this a most memorable event.
