(ANNAPOLIS) Several Republican lawmakers showed up to work Tuesday sporting red scarves, joining members of the Maryland Federation of Republican Women for the group's annual "Red Scarf" Legislation Day.Members of the women's group, also wearing red scarves, attended House and Senate sessions and planned a brunch with their Republican legislators. The group also planned to testify at bill hearings later Tuesday.

The "Red Scarf" name stems from the scarves the group's members wear to stand out at session and legislative hearings. The group started the annual event four years ago.

Delegate Jeannie Haddaway, R-37B-Talbot, wore a scarf and acknowledged the importance of Republican women's clubs."I have been involved in Republican women's clubs for a long time," she said. "I certainly know how hard the Republican women work and what a great contribution they make to our political process."
