June Event Schedule (plus other stuff)

 

 

There are no dues to be a member of Old Bats & Red Hats, and everyone is welcome to participate in our activities. Our chapter is rather informal regarding dress code, so please dress for comfort.  Please contact the appropriate Red Hat Chapter directly if the event is not run by our Chapter, and dress accordingly. Lots of Red Hat Society (worldwide) events take place all the time. Go to www.redhatsociety.com for information on events held by Red Hat Quarters. If you commit to an activity which has an associated cost, you will be held accountable if payment is made on your behalf (and no replacement can be found in time).

Dinner and a Movie Club - held the first Tuesday of each month (6-9 pm approx.)
Book Club - held the second Tuesday of each month (6-8:30 pm)
Scrambled Scrabble - held on some Sunday afternoons
Adventure Dinner Club usually held on the fourth Tuesday of each month (6 - 8:30 pm)
