Happy Birthday Ladies!


News from our recent Chapter meeting on 
MARCH 28TH - SATURDAY LUNCH AT SCARBOROUGH'S, ROUTE 7, LATHAM, NY

We will be meeting for lunch and also had a meeting to discuss our upcoming events. 

Chucky spoke to the group about her Black Hat and Pink Spring Fling event planned for May 16th. There is still time to purchase your reservation for this event. Chucky has 8 vendors who will be at the event and there will be a 50/50 and door prizes. 
Linnie  and Chucky spoke about the upcoming PJ Breakfast in October. The theme of the breakfast is Baseball this year.  Chucky has looked in where we can located red baseball bats and it would be great to have the same hats or visors to wear to the breakfast. Linnie has found a vendor who will screenprint shirts for our group.  She  passed around information regarding our chapter purchasing Chapter Tee Shirts. The information is posted in the newsletter below. Everyone at the meeting agreed it would be a good idea to have Tee Shirts that we can wear to events.

Marty called the meeting to order to go over what is being planned for the months ahead.

  • She discussed the PA Runaway Weekend - Oct 2-4, 2015.   If anyone is interested in attending, they need to send in their registration as soon as possible.  The flyer and information is posted below in the newsletter.
  • Marty how many Chicks are attending Chucky's event on May 16th and how many ladies are planning on attending the July 4th event that Janet Carroll is planning.

I will be taking Tee Shirt Orders at the next meeting.  I will need your check and also the size you want me to order for you.  In order to get the price of 20.00 per shirt I need to do a bulk order. We will be ordering the shirts this month.  If you decide later on that you want to purchase a shirt, you can place your individual order at DePalma's and pay the additional cost if there is one. I can not promise that you will be able to purchase the shirt for 20,00.  Thank you Linnie




 That’s the Glitzy news for now!!

Hope to see you at the next upcoming Chapter Meeting!
