~~~~~HAPPY NEW YEAR~~~~~

January 10^th – Saturday - Annual Catch Your Breath Luncheon

Place: Tops Diner – at the 5 Corners, Rotterdam, NY

What a nice way to begin our new chapter year.  22 Chicks attended and the tables were a buzz on planning stages of upcoming events in the process.  Barb and Tina are getting ready for their trip to Baltimore for a Red Hat weekend in February and we had three Chicks celebrating their January Birthdays. Sue was decked out in her Birthday Hat.

Thanks to Marty for planning this event and for the wonderful Red Hat pocket calendar; we all will put to good use adding in our future events.

Some time in Feb   Vicky, Chucky, Ade, Marty and Linnie will be meeting on what to plan for the PJ Party – Baseball theme event that is being hosted by the Mermaids in November.  More information to follow.

January 31 st - Glitzy Chicks Breakfast Meeting - 


Marty has reserved the private room at the Route 7 Diner in Latham for a 10:00 breakfast meeting on Saturday Jan 31th.
 
Note from Marty, Many of our "Chicks" are working on events for us and we thought it would be good to have a quick meeting and talk about all that is going on.
 
Let me know if you will be able to attend at mdeschaine@hotmail.com.
 
Also Linda and I are planning the birthday bash so don't forget to let us know if you plan to attend.

February 1 st - Sunday
Note from Pat Montgomery

The Saratoga Woman’s Club Antique Show on Sunday, Feb 1st @ The Shenendehowa High School East on Route 146 Clifton Park, Cost is $3 and refreshments will be available to purchase, time is from 10 am - 4 pm, and there will be over 60 dealers.  Lots to look at, and prices are reasonable.

  

This event is a yearly benefit event that raises money for our Homeless Women Vets and Hannah’s Hope Benefit for Cancer Patients….two of the ladies in our Ripe Red Hot Tomatoe Chapter are members of this Saratoga Woman’s Club Group.  I thought some of the ladies in The Glitzy Chicks and Diamond Divas might like to attend an event like this.  Thank you Pat for letting us know about this event.  What a great way to get some shopping in before the Super Bowl begins.

Birthday Bash

We will be celebrating our birthdays on Feb 21st at Bellini’s In LATHAM starting at 2:00 in the afternoon.  The menu will be a salad course of either a greens salad with dried berries and shaved cheese with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing or a Caesar salad.  The meal choices will be Chicken parm, pear salad, Bolognese, a chicken Panini or veg Panini.  We will be served homemade bread with a pesto olive oil and a choice of nonalcoholic beverages.  We will also have birthday cake and coffee and tea.  A cash bar will be available.  The cost will be $30.00.
