Mermaids of the Sea

We are The Red Hat Sooke Sirens, the Mermaids of the Sea, and live on the west coast of beautiful Vancouver Island.  We started our chapter on May 31st 2004 with a get together of 13 ladies at Mulligan's Restaurant in Sooke BC.  Since then we have grown to a group of 40 wonderful ladies and we all live in Sooke.   Once a year on May 31st we go back to Mulligan's to celebrate our Anniversary.

Our chapter is always busy doing fun things; we have High Tea at The Empress Hotel, go on cruises once a year along with other Red Hatters, we go on picnics and have made three daringly nude calendars which have sold in many different countries in the world, and resulted in our chapter donating over $15,000 to the local Seniors' Drop In Center.   The ladies in our calendars range in age from 41 to 86, a combined total of 1442 years !   Some of the ladies have overcome cancer, stroke, mastectomy and heart attack but are enjoying life to the fullest while breaking the rules and simply "having fun" as Red Hatters.   We love to attend Pot Lucks, attend other chapter's events and plan events for our own home town.
