2025 PHOTOS OF EVENTS CAPTURED BY DONNA BARKLEY, PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi Red Hat Sisters,
Attached are Pictures from September Birthday Luncheon at IHOP in Tarpon Springs. It was nice to have a large private room that could accommodate all of us and the food was very reasonable and good (IHOP makes more the pancakes!! ) They have a tasty lunch menu, too!!
We had a very enjoyable lunch and Queen Charleen passed out a delicious variety of brownies for dessert (It seems like our ladies are tired of cupcakes?) We then sang "Happy Birthday" to the birthday girls, Pat Thomason, Marsha Peters and Judith Hensley and they each received a beautiful gift.
We then pulled for the winners of the raffles.There were 3 winners. Dee Dee Bayron showed us her beautiful hat that she learned to make at the Funvention. Overall it was a very enjoyable day!! Hope you enjoy the pictures! Red Hat Hugs!donnabee

MARCH BIRTHDAY
Batch 1 of the pictures I took from the WCQC Birthday Lunch in Land O'Lakes Birthday Luncheon at the Plantation Palms Golf and Country Club. It was a great venue and the decor was very cool! Queen Charleen did a great job!!
Our Vendor, Tracy Hill from Paparazzi was/is amazing!! She had such a beautiful display of amazing jewelry all priced at $5?? And guess what?? She lives in Riverview!!
We had a great buffet of salad, rolls, tasty seasoned potatoes, chicken with mushrooms and gravy and delicious pork with rosemary seasoning and gravy. The chef came out and we gave him Kudos for a great job!! And we had so much fun shopping!!
Batch 2 and Last Batch! We had a surprise Birthday Girl! Lovely Vanessa from Queen Shelia's Divine Diva's group!! Queen Charleen was able to give her recognition and gave her a very pretty butterfly ring!!
We played a fun musical game of passing gifts, 2 per table and when the music stopped, it was yours. Except there was a requirement for the winner to do a dance? I took a video but it is too big to send?
It turned out there was a second round with another gift in the bag, so we got to do it again! These winners got a gift but also had to perform "I'm a Little TeaPot"! Another video I will try to send and hopefully it won't be too big!!
Then there was the most original Hat? Clearly the most beautiful was our sister from Wesley Chapel, who always does the most amazing costumes? But apparently it wasn't Red Hat colors and the vote was based more on that and popularity! But she did do a fabulous job!!
Again, hope you enjoy the pictures!! Red Hat Hugs!donnabee
