HaTpenings

The Hat Ladies activities are a simply mahvelous combination of regularly scheduled events tHAT occur each month, events tHAT we support around town, and events tHAT are created just for us. The key word for all of them is "choice;" The Ladies choose those that fit their interest, schedule, and pocket book.  Everyone comes out a-head in a Hat Ladies Hatpening because Ladies are having FUN while doing something MEANINGFUL.

 Most of all, by simply dusting off their hats and having fun wearing them, Ladies are creating their own "hatpening" and reaffirming: Hats are wear it's (h)at!

Ladies who love hats who come to Charleston are welcome to join us at our HaTpenings, if arrangements are made ahead of time.
