Royal Red Hatters of Strathroy Donate to CT Scanner

The Red Hatter Ladies of Strathroy know something about fun as members fondly refer to themselves as a group that encourages fun, creativity and friendship.

You can see it in their red hats, purple attire and spirit of having a good old time. The ladies love to get together to have fun and normally don't embark on fundraising projects.

However, in 2007 the group held a “Building Memories” Gala at the local Legion in Strathroy on Sept 25. The gala was held in memory of Cora Waterman-Wood who passed away earlier in the year and was a long-time member of the Royal Red Hatters.

155 red hat members from across the region attended the event which included an auction of red hat items, many of which had belonged to Cora. Ticket sales from the event totaling over $2500 were then donated to support the Strathroy Hospital CT scanner Campaign.
