WELCOME to the Vancouver Belles website...
We're happy you came by to visit.
We are proud to have the distinction of being the first registered  Red Hat chapter in Vancouver, WA.  Founded Sept. 2001 by Gretchen - Queen Lady G.   
We are a very close chapter and decided in the very beginning to become a sister-hood by supporting each other and building friendships for a lifetime.  

We have several members whose sisters, daughters, granddaughters, mothers, aunts
have fun belonging to The Vancouver Belles together. It is so awesome to have red hatters and pink hatters have so much fun. 
Some of our Mothers and daughters; sisters;  grandmothers with daughters and granddaughters.

10 years of fun hatters.  From Portland, OR USA recently hosted the 6th annual Pacific Northwest FunVention.   The tradition was started by Queen Gretchen Moats-Gross from Vancouver, WA (in 2003) The Vancouver Belles.
The annual tradition continued this year in Portland, OR and was attended by 380 red hatters from British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California and as far away as Texas, Illinois & Toronto.

The hatters in attendance remembered that 2008 was the 10th birthday of the Red Hat Society and had a great idea. Why not make a 10th Red Hat Society Birthday picture for attendees of  the FunVention..   Just look at all these red hatters!
