On June 12th, Hats & Taps joined in for fun at Fremont Presbyterian 
Church and basked in the ambience' of the Alzheimer's Cafe'. 
Love shared with loved ones radiated towards us and lifted our feet and spirits with glee.
We fit right in as at one time or another, we all forget various costume items! Here we don a new type of open toed tap shoe!

Marie trades with Mary for another snap shot.
This show went so fast and the audience was so fabulous, we were reluctant to leave. All four military numbers were a huge success.  Some of the cafe's customers joined us to dance and sing to the finale, Grand Old Flag. Our leader, Carol, converses with one of the audience members.
The smiles worn by Liz and Carolyn reflect our pure enjoyment and appreciation for this audience and their welcoming reactions.
Olga, aka Mary, gets ready for her Opera debut...
You really can tell how happy Hats & Taps is to perform for such an audience. Our tribute to the armed forces with coordinating hats is a favorite every time! 
Thank you Alzheimer's Cafe' and Fremont Presbyterian!

Spring Birthdays

Getting ready to celebrate the Spring Birthdays with all ten Hats & Taps in attendance. Little did we know Ruth would wind up in the hospital this evening and receive two stents for her heart. She's recovering nicely though, thank goodness.
Celebrants Carolyn, Liz, Mary and Linda 2.
Camera malfunction , darn it.  Looks like it would have been a good picture.

 Marie switched with Mary, now between Linda 2 and Carolyn.
We are thankful the ten of us could make this event.

Many thanks to Rhoda who has become well known at Ettore's now and takes care of our reservations, tab, tip and making sure we do get together for these nice celebrations for each other. We appreciate it!
