Volunteerism

In the section "wHAT it Means to be a Hat Lady," the following line appeared: "When Ladies look good, they feel good. When Ladies feel good, they DO good. Our spirit of volunteerism is as strong as...and compatible with...our love of hats. We're fashion with compassion because there's "hats" in "hearts."

Furthermore, our giving back to our community is wHAT sets us apart from other Hat societies. Creative Home magazine described us as "...a volunteer brigade of stylish Ladies who are making a difference." Others have called us: "fashionable ambassadors" and "elegantly civic-minded."

While most of our volunteerism is "hands on," we also support causes that call for donation of goods. In each case, one of our own Hat Ladies is involved in that organization:

Florence Crittenton Home for Unwed Mothers

Teachers' Supply Closet

Debi's Kids/Salvation Army Toy Drive

Animal Society Annual Meeting
