Davenport, Iowa - In 2008, Lenora sent a letter thanking someone named "Kate" from CASI, the Center for Active Seniors in Davenport. Kate had given a gift and a card to Lenora. At 89 years old, she didn't receive too many visitors, let alone Christmas Gifts. In fact, it was the ONLY Christmas gift she had received.
Just think, a small act of kindness by Kate, recognized by Lenora, was the impetus for CASI's Holiday Hat Bash, the Party with a Purpose.
Join us for the 7th Annual Holiday Hat Bash presented by Ruhl and Ruhl Realtors on Thursday, November 12th at 5:30pm. Hat Bash will once again help to make the holidays special for Quad Cities Seniors by purchasing gifts for those who may be forgotten. In 2014, more than $40,000 was raised and while Hats and haberdashery are strongly encouraged, they of course remain optional. Tickets are $30 each until October 31st and increase to $40 November 1st until the day of the event on November 12th.
Chefs from the Quad Cities premier senior living facilities and other local eateries will prepare fabulous food and decadent desserts. Area businesses will compete for the coveted Golden Goblet award as the best bar tending team. The evening culminates when tips are tallied to award the best bartenders and Golden Spoon to the best chef as determined by patrons at the event. Of course, Hat
Bash continues to offer great silent auction and raffle prizes, the ever popular Hat Contest, Necker's Diamond Derby, a new Man Cave complete with a Cigar Pull and get a jump on your holiday shopping in the new Hat Bash Bling Store.
So, grab your hat. Gather your friends and join us at the 2015 Holiday Hat Bash at CASI - The Center for Active Seniors, located at 1035 West Kimberly Road in Davenport, Iowa.
