The Blindman Valley Red Hatters, which was founded in 2005, recently honored one of their founding members.

Because Chloe Ree now finds it hard to attend their monthly outings, the Blindman Valley Red Hatters decided to take their November get-together to her. On November 26, members joined with Ree in the Bentley Care Centre dining room.

“Lady” Chloe, as she is known to club members, was presented with a lifetime membership and a small photo album with photos of club outings and members by Marg Beddoes.

Ree expressed how much it meant to her, how much she appreciated it, and how important their friendship is.

Cake and ice cream, coffee, and tea, were served at a specially decorated table where all could be seated together.

Donning their “best” red and purple attire, members who attended the tea were Marg Beddoes, Velma Scott, Marlene Szasz, Gloria Peterson, Binky Stevenson, Eileen Wilson, and Carol Jaffray.

A few of the husbands were also in attendance seated at their own table, and Care Centre residents had also been invited.

Light hearted visiting and reminiscing were the fare for the afternoon.
