DAY OF CARING

The Hat Ladies are proud to participate every year in two volunteer activities as part of the National Day of Caring...held to balance the horror of 9-1-1 with the goodness of Americans

Of course, it is comes as a great sacrifice since our faces ache the rest of the day from smiling and laughing so much.  If anyone doubts there is JOY in hats for people of all ages and cultures, these photos will prove it.
