RED HATS off to sisters, Helene Nagurka & Linda Gary (Mmes. Clauses, dressed in purple with red feathers & Linda had ELF feet!). They did a fantastic job on our first Annual Holiday Party, held at the Girl Scout Council. It was very cozy (not as the term used in Real Estate!). We all had such a great time.
We started the evening off with appetizers. Then, we had a REDUATION (Congratulations to Kathi Viola & Lynne Webber who transitioned from PINK Hats to RED Hats. Congratulations, ladies! Next

we nibbled;
we exchanged gifts;
we ate;
we sang Christmas Carols with our kazoos;
we played games;
and we LAUGHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of our games was to select a grab bag gift, open it, and show everyone. The next person could either pick the first gift or unwrap a new one. The third person, could choose any previously opened gift or opt for a new one. One gift changed owners FOUR TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!! Some of the gifts were unique--a lot of thought went into them. The other games we played included Pictionary (of Holiday songs); Name that Tune with only one line from a holiday song; Holiday trivia & Pin the Red Feather on the hat!--Mrs. Linda Claus nearly had a feather on her nose!
In addition to our grab bag gifts, Helene and Linda had great prizes when we won at the games. We also went home with Red Hat travel size tissue holders, made by Vice Queen Linda, Helene & Linda.
Helene and Linda really outdid themselves. Ready to do another party?
Congratulations!
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas & a happy, healthy 2008.
