Full Fall Calendar?

The demand for Carol's Hats & Taps has grown. Mission Oaks may miss her but "retirement" is not a word in Carol's vocabulary.  Seemingly, neither is "No".  And we love it!  On October 12th, the Gals danced for the Wives of the Civil Engineers at the Aviator Club.

October 22cd, half of the group, Carol, Carolyn, Linda 2, Liz and Marie, danced at the Roseville Elk's Lodge for the Women's Civic Improvement Club.

Hats & Taps by Renoir

October 26th, Northridge Country Club hosted the Gold River Villagers, some of whom were known by a couple of Hats & Tappers.  We thank all of those audience members from each of October's shows so far, for being so enthusiastic and welcoming!  With nine more scheduled shows before Christmas, we certainly have a very full Fall Calendar.

Fall Birthday Celebration

Hats & Taps celebrated Fall birthdays at a new venue, Ettore's. We enjoy taking the time, three times a year, to celebrate and visit in a relaxed environment, sharing cards, food, and fun!  It was so good to see and catch up a bit with Margaret, Ione and Carol 2 too! 

The Carrot Cake was delicious!

What a treat to have a pretty room to ourselves!

Always thanks to Rhoda for making arrangements 

and taking care of the tab!

We had a great tap practice afterward - in spite of full stomachs.

Well Done!

Yeehaw!  By many accounts, the 2011 September
Showcase was the best one ever!  

Thanks to Carol, and all the many dancers and helpers!  

A well attended, real crowd pleaser!

Carol was honored by Mission Oaks and all of the tap groups in various appreciative ways.  She'll be greatly missed!

Happy Hound Dogs look on.

It was great!
