Cirque Éloize |
Cirque Éloize at George
Mason
 Cirque
Éloize is "Highly recommended for bored teenagers,
jaded sophisticates, aged aunties and others," hailed The
New York Times about this unpretentious little sister to
Cirque du Soleil. With drama, gymnastics, ballet and rock
music, Cirque Éloize
performs in the witty, exuberant, unadorned style of a
small, independent European circus. These nine performers
accompanied by five musicians comprise a talented,
physically impressive ensemble, finely honed and
choreographed to elicit delight, humor, suspense and
exhilaration in their audiences. Warm humor and genuine
teamwork temper their feats of tumbling, strength, control,
and equilibrium, combined with dazzling aerial work. All
ages will enjoy the opportunity to witness these amazing
performers who communicate in "the universal language of
fun" (The New York Times).

Red Hat Society Day |
April 25
This coincided with the
new release from Founder and Exalted Queen Mother Sue Ellen
Cooper.
"The Red Hat Society: Fun and Friendship After Fifty"
(Warner Books) If you're interested, you may order this book
here.
The Red Hat Society: Fun and Friendship After Fifty
by
Sue Ellen Cooper
Finally, the official book of the
The Red Hat Society™,
which is sweeping the nation.
Inspired by the Jenny Joseph poem
that begins: "when I am an old woman I shall wear purple/with a red
hat that doesn't suit me," Sue Ellen Cooper bought herself a red
hat. Soon it became her signature gift for friends turning 50. In
2000, Cooper and her friends formed the Red hat Society, whose only
rule is no rules-it's simply a play group encouraging woman over 50
to have fun, support each other, and find kindrid spirits.
The book contains the history of
the Red Hat Society, a guide to life by Ruby RedHat and funny,
heart-warming and sassy stories shared by Red Hatters from all over
North America, with narratives offered by Sue Ellen. |

Our last event
was Sunday, March 21 at 2:00 PM and it celebrated the
official chartering of our chapter with the Red Hat Society.
This was a
Wine, Cheese, Hats and Frocks Party!
Each person
modeled Red Hats and Purple Frocks or Pants Suits. We
are now ready to go out into society!
Each woman
assigned
herself a magnificent title, the grander the better!
We also
started making a red and purple quilt with all our names on
it, and titles.
Pictures are here! |
