June 5th--San Marcos Country Club was host to a BIG to-do involving nearing 250 Red Hatters from multiple Chapters. I was invited to speak and was so honored to be considered part of the party! Bonnie Armstrong, Queen of the California Dreamers Chapter, was the power behind (and in front of) this massive undertaking. She left no detail unattended! If you ever need crowd control, she's your go-to gal! I was amazed at her seamless event because it was a complex mix of vendors, belly dancers, fashion show and just sheer fun and yet she could marshall the crowd at will. Stunningly done, Bonnie! There is a reason you are Queen!
I've seen Red Hatters in small groups but this was my first exposure to such a large group and I have to tell you--these girls know how to have fun! Club members dressed "in their colors" had so many beautiful ways to wear red and purple that the whole room looked royal indeed! Gorgeous themed products could be seen both on the women and offered for sale. There was a lot of excitement and conversation about where to find the most beautiful and unusual pieces! It was easy to spend the day ooohing and ahhhhhing.
If you've never been exhausted from the sheer joy of having fun, check out the Red Hatters! All women are welcome but you only wear red and purple after the age of 50. Before that you wear pink and lavender as you are just in training for such a good time! Learn more at www.redhatsociety.com where the only rule is to have fun!

Hi Claudia!
I had a ball putting on that fashion show luncheon. Guests were amazed when 6 belly dancers converged upon them, with their shrill greeting sound. The crowd was up and dancing with them within minutes! AND, when they found out I had an awesome Keynote Speaker, they were very surprised and pleased indeed! Many said that the California Dreamers Chapter of the Red Hat Society has set a new high standard for fashion shows, and I am sure that it was due in part to your outstanding motivational presentation for and about women! Thank you Claudia Jean for being our Keynote speaker. You left them calling for more, as all good speakers do!
