The Latest News from Archie & The Hat Ladies
We’re always glad to share updates from
The Hat Ladies ofCharleston, South Carolina in the USA. Not only do this stylish
group of hat lovers work tirelessly to help those in need in their
community, they also faithfully promote hat wearing everywhere
they go.
The Hat Ladies of Charleston continue to pull amazing things out of
their hats. They neither make nor sell hats; they simply love wearing
them. While they enjoy a monthly Luncheon and Hatpy Hour, the
rest of the time they live their motto: “When you look good, you feel
good. And when you feel good, you do good.” Thus, The Hat Ladies
are known as a stylish brigade of volunteers who are making a
difference through their mix of fashion with compassion.
On November 16
th, 2012, under the leadership of Top Hat, ArchieBurkel, they won Charleston’s equivalent of an Oscar when they
were named ‘Community Catalyst’ as part of The Giving Back
Awards of
Philanthropy Week. Afterwards, they learned that whatdistinguished them from other worthy candidates was the fact that
their hats made giving visible. Of course, they prefer to call it ‘The
Community Hatalyst Award’!
