The
Ya Ya Diva’s Chapter News
Good morning, Ya Ya Divas!
Wow, we have been busy!
In February we celebrated the Chinese New Year, a Valentine Dinner at Verdiles, Annual Wretched Excess luncheon, and welcomed our newest Ya Ya, Linda (Dolly)!
Looks like March will be just as busy.
March 1 – Mardi Gras -
For those of you who were able to attend it was a great time.
There were 74 red hatters and their friends in attendence. 10 chapters were represented. Janet is a joy to co-chair with. She did so much on her end, collecting checks and keeping track of payments and meeting with the manager at Fairways.
I can not thank you to those of you who came early that morning to set up the room to make it festive and ready for our guests. You all worked together zooming around and making it happen. You transformed the room into the Mardi Gras Party we enjoyed.
We had great helpers from the Sparkling Scarlets to who were zooming too! Sue Asher was our resident photographer once the party got started, she got some great shots of the fun we were having.
Special thanks goes out to Chucky and Ade for selling the raffle tickets, (Chucky also selling 50/50) Susan, Mary, Ade, and Chucky for your help at the raffle table that day as runners of the baskets to the winners, shaking and pulling the winning tickets and keeping it moving smoothly. We had 17 baskets to give out.
One of which was a beautiful red hat designed by our Chucky Liska! She also helped me with getting the baskets together and wrapped and bowed. We had beautiful baskets made up for those who were lucky enough to win.
I don't want to forget to mention, I so appreciate everyone's help at the end of the event, staying and picking up all the decorations from the tables and room and bagging them so we can use them for our next mardi gras, collecting and bagging up the food donations for Janet, and your help in loading up my car and Janet's car after you had already put in a full day of helping out.
I am truly blessed to have my YA YA Divas.💓
