Members of the Red Hat Society known as Gail's Glamorous Gals celebrated their annual Christmas get together on Monday at the Taphouse.
The ladies get together once a month for socializing and good times. On hand for the event was Ethel Glover, Pat Glehs, Gloria Alexander, Lorraine Clement, June Leduc, Terri Gagnon, Carol Laalo, Betty Blais, Jeanne Carriere, Linda Romas, Gail Shepherd-Empie (queen of the group) and Memma Rocca.
Santa Claus was even on hand to pay a special visit to members of the Sudbury Red Hat Society group, Gail's Glamorous Girls. He got a peck on the cheek from Gail Shepherd-Empie and Lorraine Clement.
The Red Hat Society is a social organization for women founded in 1998. It used to be open only to women over age 50, but has since broadened its approach. Women under 50 (so-called Pink Hatters) are now welcome. There are more than 20,000 chapters in 30 countries, including several chapters in the Greater Sudbury Area.
