Black Hat Diamond Diva Minutes from our Luncheon Meeting
We had a very productive meeting!
Our members discussed having a Breakfast at Tiffany's Brunch at the Italian Amerian Community Center and all in attendance decided to go ahead and it is scheduled for Sunday, May 15, 2016
Also discussed was having a Ringing in the New Years Speakeasy Bash on November 26th, Having the event in November we will be avoiding conflicts with dates in December when we have holiday parties and family gatherings happening. The members approved having this event and plans are under way to find a venue to accommodate our group. We are reaching out to all Diamond Divas, if you have a place in mind that has a private room to host our bash, please email Linnie and she will contact the place. We have several places we have already looked into but would appreciate other options you might know of. Barb De Marco brought up several suggestions and Lin is looking into them.
Linnie started collecting dues for our sorority this year to help off set event expenses that we will have during the year. Marty explained to the group that dues and money from 50/50 drawings will be going towards the Bringing in the New Year Speakeasy Bash to pay for entertainment, decorations and other costs. The members agreed that the collection of dues is a good idea to put towards our future event.
Next on the meeting agenda was the Mom Prom event on April 29th. Vicky Holly and Barb DeMarco will be hosting a pre prom party at Vicky's home which will certainly get the partying started. They will be having snacks, wine and cheese and asked if any of the group wanted to bring something to share, please let them know. If you plan on attending, please send your check to Vicky Holley in the amount of 55.00.
We have reserved two limos for the evening. One car is already filled and there is room for 6 more ladies in the other car. the price per person is 43.50 each which includes the tax but does not include the driver tip for the evening. We can rent more limos if need be. Please send your check to Linnie if you are planning on the limo ride.
Marty mentioned that National Red Hat Day is planned for April 25th. If you are planning on attending, please send you checks made payable to the Spindle City Divas, the information on who to send to if posted on the blog, in the Glitzy Chicks January News.
Sue Asher spoke to the group about the Valentine Party, Janet Carroll and Sue are planning for the Glitzy Chicks. Please let Sue or Janet know if you are planning on attending. The information is listed in the Glitzy Chicks January News on the blog.
Lin also mentioned that the Black Hat Banshee Beauts are hosting an April in Paris Black Hat event on April 8 and 9, at the Embassy Suites in Saratoga. Please contact Judy Pinto if you are planning on attending this event. Information is posted on the blog under Black Hat Diamond Divas January Newsletter.
Barb and Tina brought up a great suggestion on having a night at the races program. It sounds like a fun thing to do as part of one of our events or as a separate event. Briefly, Guests can contribute to name the horses and then watch them race. If their horse wins, they’ll win even more! When played along with our casino games, guests bet on the horses with chips or play money. When the Races are over, they can buy raffle tickets that they can use to win prizes. Check it out on line, it is listed on night at the races program.
We had a 50/50 and our winner was Marty. Half of the winnings went into our Ringing in the New Years fund.
All events listed above are posted on the blog and emailed out to you.
Meeting adjouned after we enjoyed our complimentary cannolis. We had a waiter who never worked the lunch crowd. He will never be the same, but he did enjoy waiting on the Diamond Divas and posing for his picture.
In Black Hat Fun
Linnie
