WHO ARE THE VANCOUVER BELLES?
Our Chapter was founded September, 2001 by Gretchen-Queen Lady "G". We are registered chapter
#2551 of The Red Hat Society & are proud to be the first registered chapter in Vancouver, WA., starting with 5 charter
members from SW WA & surrounding Portland, OR areas. As our numbers and friendships have grown and flourished over
the past eight years .... we know we will be forever "Sisters". We meet each month (at least once), on
the second Saturday of the month. Some of our past events are: plays, dinners, luncheons, cruises, pajama parties, 50's
parties, plays, Hawaiian luau's, tours, train trips, events in members homes and of course, "High Tea".

from British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California and as far away as Texas, Illinois, and Toronto.The hatters
in attendance remembered that 2008 is the 10th birthday of The Red Hat Society and had a great idea..Why not make a 10th RHS
birthday picture for the attendees of the FunVention! Just look at all these Red Hatters
