Easter Bonnets

We had a wonderful event on Saturday, March 19th at Southside/Polytechnic Lodge. Our Italian Holiday Event was attended by many. The food was delicious and the fellowship fun. We had a bake sale, Easter Hat contest and a Silent Auction. If you didn't make it, you missed a good time. Thanks to all that helped and thanks to all who attended. Past Matrons and Past Patrons of District 3, Section 1 are the best!!!! See you May 7th at Crowley Chapter.



This pair, Grand Conductress, Annette Curry and Worthy Matron of North Fort Worth, Doreen Carden, thought they were to cute for hats. Obviously they did not win, but they do look full. Must have been the Chocolate Pie our Grand Conductress bought!

Another of our winners, Worthy Matron of Everman Chapter, Brenda Ruiz won the most Elegant Hat award. She is ready to go to the Royal Wedding in England. Congratulations Brenda!
