The picturesque turn-of-the-century log cabin and farmhouse at Deer Park Country Inn was the site for our April luncheon. The warm afternoon kicked into high gear as Judy Jack graciously accepted the position of New Queen Mother for the Elkins Purple Majesties. The transfer of the crown officially occurs at the May 2004 meeting ~ but we were so excited that we went ahead and crowned Judy ahead of time!

The handsome man several Red Hatters are schmoozing with in photos was our waiter Chris. He certainly livened up the party that afternoon and I am sure several of the women felt 25 again! There were many, many "we want Chris" chants and requests for extra water during the day ~ anything to get the handsome fellow out of the kitchen and into the dining room :-)  Many of us want to name Chris our chapter mascot!

Carmen Holmes, Queen Mother for the newly formed Parson WV Red Hat chapter, was also given a warm welcome as our special guest. Carmen's long purple evening dress and other couture was a huge hit!
