THE HATS OF THE WORLD LUNCHEON

Hats are known as a fashion statement. On January 19, 2011 they made a diplomatic statement as The Hat Ladies of Charleston traveled to New York and hosted the female ambassadors and officials to The United Nations. Ladies of all ages, who love hats of all colors, came together under one symbolic hat, at The Hats of The World Luncheon.
On January 19, 2012, The 2nd ANNUAL Hats of The World Luncheon was held. With all due respect to the 1st, it was even better the second time around. Click HERE for comments from those in attendance.
