Ladies in hats

UPDATE: Dennis Brown writes: “We had a tradition for several years to have a men's choir on Mother's day and then a ladies choir on Father's day. The hats were just a prop. This was a Sunday morning rehearsal.” Also, I would add Ann T. to the list of names below. She is the third lady from the right. The lady in the red blouse is Betty W. I still can’t place the lady behind Myrtle and in front of Rev. David, or the lady on the very right next to David L. Anyone?
An additional note: very soon after this was taken, David L left his post as music director. That August, Sarah F. was asked to “fill in” for six weeks. I guess she didn’t mind the gig because she’s still with us!

ORIGINAL POST:

These photos are dated 2006. I recognize a lot of faces but wonder exactly what the occasion is. David Lyttle is there and people seem to be holding music books, but I don’t think this is the choir because there are no men! Is it the UCW? I see Shirley, Linda, Phyllis, Betty, Iris, Myrtle, Lil, Sandra, Shirley, Dorothy, Shirley, Donna, and a few more I don’t recognize. What, only three Shirleys??

Great hats, everyone!
