The Purple Hat ladies met in Smyrna at Brookside Inn for their Tuesday, Oct. 14 meeting. Leader Charlotte Marley was in attendance to greet the ladies.

The gathering was optional for Halloween costumes or go as you are. Donna Furrow won the Halloween costume for dressing as the “most shapely witch.” The blessing before the meal was offered by Wannetta Townsend of Houlton.
The ladies agreed to meet in Monticello at Blue Moose Restaurant in November. We will have another contest for the “most ugliest” sweater. Find your worst sweater and wear it to the meeting. Donna Furrow won the monthly drawing for the hat pin.
Attending from Cary was Jackie Coella; from Houlton were Betty Wyman, Marsha Reed and Wannetta Townsend; from Dyer Brook, Sandy Wyman; from Oakfield, Elaine Barrett, Deloris Locke, Alma Clark, Donna Furrow and Bernice Campbell; from Merrill, Arlene Friel, from Smyrna, Cindy Gray, and Charlotte Marley; Marsha Reed and Betty Wyman.

Cards were sent to Marie Gillotti and Arlene Friel, by a member, for her 90th birthday.
