Queen Be's 15 Minutes of Fame

One of the unique aspects of being a Hatter is that Members are often sought out for photos and interviews by the local media because they standout anywhere they go in their beautiful regalia. This week, RHS Ambassador and Queen Be, BJ Young, of the Bizy Be's of Delaware Chapter shared this interview she did with a local show called "Catch It Live" about the happenings in the Red Hat Society.

We loved this interview and wanted to share it here with you, because Queen Be addresses many of the questions we often receive at the Red Hat Society about what we do and how women can become involved. Plus, sometimes it's just nice just to hear it straight from the women wearing the hats! If you have ever been curious about the Sisterhood and want to know more about upcoming events, this is the perfect video for you to watch. Take it away Queen Be:

How To Glam Up A Hat

In celebration of the Red Hat Society’s 15^th Anniversary, HATalk e-magazine, created a special issue just for Members of the Red Hat Society featuring four fabulous hat crafts for them to try. HATalk is a monthly e-magazine, which features practical hat making skills and showcases handmade hats from around the world.

Oh how we love any excuse to get crafty! This issue not only showed Hatters how to make their own hats from scratch, but it introduced them to some easy ways to give their old hats a bit of life. 

In today's post, we are sharing the "Glam Up A Red Hat" craft from this issue, and we hope you'll either give it a try or put your own spin on it! Enjoy!

Dorothy's 15 Minutes of Fame

What a year it has been for Queen Mother Dorothy of the Ruby Crowns and Amethyst Gowns Chapter (Ontario, Canada)! Not only was she the winner of last year's Invite A Friend Contest from the Red Hat Society, but just this past month, she was honored with an "Education, Training and Mentoring Women of Excellence Award" from the Soroptimist International of Haldimand-Norfolk.

RHS Ambassador and Queen of Bits and Bytes, Jan submitted these wonderful pictures highlighting the event as well as her nomination letter. In it Jan wrote: 

"Dorothy has dedicated her life to helping people. As an Ambassador for the Red Hat Society and Queen of The Ruby Crowns and Amethyst Gowns Chapter, she has helped so many women and has inspired us for years .  She brings these women together several times per month to enjoy a lunch, a tea, a show, shopping, or enjoying the fellowship of women from all over the province and the U.S. who come to visit.

She has demonstrated leadership, maturity, perseverance, innovation, compassion and a keen understanding of  her community.  The ripple effect of her many acts of kindness and countless hours of volunteering with so many organizations will continue to have a positive effect in her community for many years to come."

Congratulations Queen Dorothy, and thank you for helping to give Dorothy her moment in the spotlight, Queen Jan!
