| December 2002 Extravagant Elegance Tea Room Middlebury, IN |
| Our last meeting at the Extravagant Elegance in Middlebury greeted us with a very pleasant atmosphere of fine china and lovely tables with floral cloths amidst varying victorian type gift items. We had the privilege to welcome 2 new members to our fold, Dianne Yoder & Kathy Floerkey. We had a holiday luncheon of tea sandwiches, beverages and assorted tea desserts. We also had a gift exchange. At our meeting I asked for some one to volunteer or nominate a Vice Queen to help out with duties since our former Vice Queen has dropped out. Everyone unanimously voted for Betty Kummeth who was gracious enough to accept the task which includes promoting the Red Hat Society, answering any questions and be bossy when the Queen Mum is not around. Afterwards there was many specialty shops nearby to peruse for that last minute Christmas gift or just to spoil yourself! |
