Red Hat Pistols Meet
The January meeting of the Red Hat Pistols was hosted by Vikki Torian. Her daughter,
Brandi, served as co-hostess. The Pistols were pampered with a ,'pink" giris' night out with an
array of foods, many decorated in pink. After a craft of making red hatpins, the ladies were
treated to an enormous "Kid in a Candy Store" delight with a table loaded with pink candies of
all varieties and sweet pink containers in which to carry them home. Two new members were
welcomed into the group: Amber Burton and Brandi Calder. Pictured (I to r): Vikki Torian,
