Our February Event

Our February Event was this morning. We were met by our guide, Mr.Aroine Irby, of Gee's Bend, Alabama. What a surprise! He fit right in with our group, dressed in his "birthday month" colors. He was an extremely knowledgeable and interesting guide for our group. He represents our state very capably to visitors and tourists when they visit. Even though our time ran over a little, I was enjoying every minute. The state capitol has been beautifully restored and we can be very proud of it.
We then proceded to UCOC for the delicious brunch that David Fletcher had prepared (and kept warm) for us. Thank you to Faye, Dianne, and David for their planning and executing such an enjoyable event!

"Blogs I Like"

Check out Melissa's blog (look for her name to the right). She writes beautifully and always has things in her posts to make us think.

"Comments"

I am disappointed that no one leaves a comment on the posts! I guess I am realizing that no comment is required but I always check the blog to see the comments and so far there are zero! Who wants to be first?

Things to Remember for Saturday

Tomorrow is the deadline to let Dianne F. or Faye know if you are going Saturday. The tour starts promptly at 9:00 AM so be there a little before that or you may be left behind! This will start at the Union St. (back) of the Capitol so be there in your colors and bring your guest! Please read the previous post for additional details.
See you Saturday. I will be the one in the foot/ankle brace!

FEBRUARY EVENT!!!!!

Our February event will be a walk back into history as we tour our state Capitol on Saturday, February 16th. The state Capitol has undergone some renovations recently, and after reading an article in the Montgomery Advertiser a few months ago, it sounds like it will be very interesting to see. I'm sure many of you, like myself, have toured the State Capitol in the past, but I think it will be a lot of fun for us as a group (dressed in our red and purple) to tour it again. We invite all the Red Hat Ladies to bring their spouse, friend or a relative to join them for the State Capitol tour and Breakfast/Brunch at the University church building afterwards. Our tour begins promptly at 9:00 a.m., so it will be important that you meet a few minutes early since another tour begins shortly after ours ends. Arrangements have been made for our tour guide to meet us at the back entrance to the Capitol on Union Street to begin our 45 minute tour of the past. There should be plenty of parking available and no meters to feed on Saturday. Some of you may even want to leave one car at the church building and carpool together. After the tour is over everyone will go back to the University church building for a Breakfast/Brunch prepared by David Fletcher. Cost will be $5.00 per person. Please RSVP to Dianne Fletcher by email at dafmont@aol.com or by telephone at 271-4778, or Faye Toler at 271-3668, no later than February 13th, as David will need the total number of people to buy and prepare food for that morning. Hope we have a good turn out since it won't matter if it's cold since this will be an indoor event. See you on the 16th!
