Monday, April 7, was the inaugural Vero in Bloom Hat Luncheon at McKee Botanical Gardens. A group of US boys were involved in the organization and set up, plus served as greeters and escorted ladies down the green carpet. They also had to help in many other roles, including keeping track of the paddle raise — who was donating what to this new initiative. This organization was founded last year and is called The Green Heart Tribe. It’s modeled after the legendary New York City hat luncheon that happens in Central Park each spring.
