Easter Seal Gala

June 28th Hats & Taps danced 2 patriotic numbers for the Easter Seals Gala.  It was Galalightful! What an enormous and lively crowd!  This audience can whoop and holler and make us feel like real celebrities!  Another super hot day did not deter the joy and fun this group was having.  And we were infected.  Alas, Mary was away for Anchors Aweigh and we lacked a camera.   Thanks to Mary, however, we have a picture of our costume for that day.
Mary helps Carol, and the rest of the group, with her Made-Up-For-Tap Mannequin.  She takes a picture and sends it to all of us so we have a wonderful visual of what we need for upcoming shows.  

Pen Pals at Eskaton

 Liz, second on the left, arranged for Hats & Taps to perform for Pen Pals at Eskaton Monroe Lodge. It was a hot day for June 8th but we are always supplied with a very nice spot to change and get ready.
 Rhoda, Linda 1, Marie and Carolyn in the front row.

 Carol's patriotic numbers are always a hit, 
especially as we near July 4th. 
Thank you Eskaton and Pen Pals.  We enjoyed celebrating with you!

Tri-Annual Birthdays

 Our Tri-annual birthday gig celebrated Mary, Carolyn,
Linda 2, and Liz - in descending height order.
 Ettore's back room always accommodates us well.
June 6th was our celebration day. 
It's amazing how we can give each other fun cards and hardly ever repeat them!

We miss her and were very glad to catch up!
