Red Hat ladies gather in Sisters

Every month a group of Sisters women gather for lunch, fun and fellowship at one of Sisters' eateries.

The SSSS Sisters Red Hats has 16 active members.

During the Christmas season, the members donate to the Kiwanis food bank in lieu of gifts for each other. They also sing Christmas carols at Aspen Ridge retirement home during their Red Hat Ladies Christmas Tea.

For their October lunch, the ladies dress in Halloween costumes.

Each of the ladies wears red or purple clothing, and those under 55 wear pink hats while those 55 and older wear red hats. On her birthday month, a lady wears a lavender hat.

The group honors birthdays by singing their unique birthday song: "I don't know what you've been told/ Someone here is getting old/ The good news is we sing for free/ The bad news is we sing off key/ Happy Birthday to you.

SSSS Sisters Red Hats invites new members to join the fun. For more information call Lorena Bliven at 541-389-9554 or MaryEllen Kollodge at 541-318-9003.
