Ravenna: Thea King gets birthday honor ... Made an honorary
member of Netherlands Red Hat Society
By Marchaè Grair
Record-Courier staff writer
A
local
branch
of
the
Red
Hat
Society
recently
honored
member
Thea
King
for
her
70th
birthday
on
June
28
at
San
Francisco
Oven
Restaurant
in
Hudson.
King,
a
resident
of
Ravenna
but
a
native
of
Holland,
received
an
honorary
membership
to
the
Netherlands
Red
Hat
Society,
becoming
the
first
Ohio
resident
to
have
such
an
honor.
King's
brother,
Hans
Drayer,
came
from
Holland
with
his
wife
to
present
the
membership
as
a
tribute
to
his
sister.
"The
presentation
was
wonderful,
especially
because
my
brother surprised me," King said.
The event was organized by King's daughter and Red Hat member Lynda Lamp for King's birthday on July 3.
"Lamp
did
almost
all
of
the
work
via
computer
and
my
brother
made
connections
with
some
of
the
international
members
in
Holland,"
King
said.
"They
sent
gifts,
and
a
certificate."
King
also
received
a
new
red hat with real Dutch lace.
The
Red
Hat
Society
is
a
club
for
women
50
and
older
who
want
to
be
part
of
a
"dis-organization,"
according
to
the
club's
official
Web
site.
Its
main
goal
is
for
its
members
to
have
fun
and
be
surrounded
by
other
spirited
women.
The dress code is the source of the club's name. "We all wear red hats unless it's our birthday," King said.
"During our birthday months, we're supposed to wear purple hats, and if you're less than 50 years old, you
cannot wear either. You wear pink hats."
King's
local
chapter
is
the
Cruisin'
Red
Hatters
of
Stow,
where
she
is
known
as
"The
Duchess
of
the
Netherlands."
She
enjoys
being
in
the
Red
Hat
Society,
especially
with
a
member
close
to
her
heart.
"My
daughter
also
joined,
and it was a wonderful opportunity to do
