Clara
Kries and Bernita Wood hosted a wonderful lunch at the China
Bay Restaurant in Beaverton. We were in a private room and
most of the gals ordered a banquet special that was served on a large
lazy susan. There was tons of delicious food, and it was fun
watching the food spin around as the gals helped
themselves.
Two new
members were introduced - Betty Conley and Patty Etebari.
Betty is in two chapters that don't meet on weekends, and she
wanted more weekend fun. Patty hadn't heard of the Red
Hat Society until she saw the documentary on PBS a few weeks ago,
and she knew it was for her.
There
were door prizes, laughter, and kazooing "Happy Birthday".
Our newest member Betty taught us a new way of singing happy
birthday, which made us all laugh.
After
lunch, we drove to the Alpenrose Dairy Opera House where the Northwest
Senior Theatre Group put on a special show for red hatters.
The group entertained us with songs from old Broadway and vaudeville
shows. After the intermission, they performed songs and drama
from old time radio and TV shows and Hollywood musicals.
Sharon
from Society Woman was in the lobby with lots of fabulous
things for the ladies to purchase. A great time was had by all!
