The Diamond Divas are meeting for Breakfast!

 Place:  Annabelle's Cafe -  2621 Guilderland Avenue, Schenectady, NY 12306

 Time:    9:30 AM

 Date:    March 23, 2019

 Cost:    will be ordering off the menu

We will be meeting for breakfast and then share some ideas and suggestions about future events to do or places we might to visit.
It seems once the summer months on our doorsteps, we all are busy or out of town with family 
outings and vacations and it is not always easy to plan an event during those months unless it is planned ahead. We just thought this would 
be a good time to talk about what we might want to do before summer is here.

      If you are able to attend, please email me at lmpflieger@gmail.com or call me at 518-355-3334, by March 16th.  

      Several of you have mentioned that you wanted to know where to buy the Black Hat Pins that many of us wear.
      I will have order forms available for the Black Hat Pins from the Ladies of the Hat website and the Diamond Divas Sorority pins,
      if you are interested in purchasing them at the breakfast. I will then send in the money and orders to the vendors to save on postage and 
      time. I printed off  pictures of each pin that are posted on the Ladies of the Hat site for you to 
      look at. I spoke with one of our vendors and she will be able to create the Diamond Diva pin that many of us have. I haven’t been able to get 
      them made up until now, as the vendor I originally purchased them from had retired.
         
      After breakfast if anyone is interested in doing some shopping there is a new DEALZZZZ store on Altamont Avenue.  The store offers buyouts    
      and also gently used items and clothes.  The store has a bit of everything.  Purses, clothing, greeting cards,household items. It just opened              
      two weeks ago.  There is another thrift store is inters called Finders Keepers, near Annabelles Cafe. 
                         
      Hope to see you there!
