Greetings Dear Red & Pink Hatted Sisters

 

"The Third Long Island Red Hat Convention" is now just seven short month's away.  Your convention committee is hard at work making sure that this event will surpass the incredible events we have presented in the past.  We are over 2/3's of the way to reaching our close off of 500.  Even though our economy is in a temporary slump our Red Hat sister's are not letting anything stand in their way of celebrating our sisterhood!  "Life is too short", don't miss out on the Red Hat time of your life!  Carpe Diem!

 

Please take note - there was an error in last month's bulletin.  The cost of rooms at the Hilton Hotel are $155 per night "not" $159.  You can put up to 4 people in a room.  PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL a room on your own, if you do we will loose it.  Please call either Karen Wajda or myself and we will cancel it for you.

 

Also, we will not be having a PJ contest.  There will be a hat contest held on Friday evening 10/2/09.  The categories are "Most Elegant" & "Most Outrageous".

The "Mask" contest will be held on Saturday evening 10/3/09 along with the "Queen of Glitz" contest.

 

We will be offering workshops.  The workshops will be announced along with the sign-up the first week in May.  These will be filled on a "first come, first serve" basis.  We have all kinds of fun and interesting workshops planned for you!  We have lots of things planned for you to do or you can just shop at your leisure at our fabulous vendors and then relax and enjoy the beautiful atrium indoor pool and the hotel amenities.  So far we have "sister's" coming from British Columbia, California, Michigan, Arizona, Washington, Virginia, Maryland, Canada, Maine, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey & every part of New York State!  Our reputation reaches far & wide.  We are so worth the trip.........join us at this Not To Be Missed Event!  You WILL be so glad that you did!

 

As previously mentioned, this year we are highlighting Long Island Vineyards.  The stereotype of barefoot women stomping on grapes no longer holds true - at least not on the North Fork of Long Island.  Not only has crushing gone high-tech, but now many "women" are actually running the winery operations.  This phenomenon - a high percentage of "women" in senior positions in the wine industry goes against historic industry trends.  It's wonderful to see so many "women" owning vineyards, supervising wine production and managing retail operations.  So while you are here on L.I. why not plan on extending your trip to include a ride out (45 min. from the Hilton) to the North Fork to visit the Vineyards of Long Island.

 

Come .......Revel In The Unrivaled Happiness Of Red

Hat Joy........at "The Third Long Island Red Hat Convention" - October 2, 3 & 4  2009.  Registration cost - $275 per person.

 

Yours in Hatted Sisterhood
