I'd like to share something of great interests to All RHS Queens & Members.
You will appreciate the beauty of your personalized name badges
with the magnetic fasteners on the backside.
They are very affordable, not too small or too big, the perfect size.
Designed for both Red and/or Pink Hatters,
so maybe you will want several for yourself.
The badges I received were shipped just as mentioned &
looks much better than photos shown.
You will be very pleased, as I was myself.
Happy shopping!
We REALLY know how to KICK-UP our HEELS!
You're INVITED 2 Join Us & Get Down with the BEST of Them:
Blues/Gospel/Oldies BUT Goodies/Jazz/Doo Wap/Reggae/Opera

Our own Dis-ORGANIZATION
The RED HAT SOCIETY began as a result of a few women deciding to greet middle age with verve,
humor & elan.
We believe silliness is
the comedy relief of life,
and since we are all in it together,we might as well join red-gloved hands and
go for the gusto together.
Underneath the frivolity,we share a bond of affection,
forged by common life experiences,and a genuine enthusiasm for where-ever life takes us next!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ode to the RED HAT SOCIETY! By: Our Exalted QUEEN Mother- SUE ELLEN COOPER
A poet put it very well,
she said when she was older,
she wouldn't be so meek and mild,she threatened to get bolder.
She'd put a RED hat on her head,and PURPLE on her shoulder,she'd make her life a warmer place,her "GOLDEN years" much golder.

Where Is The MAGNIFYING Glass?
"WARNING" By: Jenny Joseph
When I am an old woman I shall wear PURPLE
With a RED hat that doesn't go,and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy & summer gloves
And satin sandals,and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickles for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old,and start to wear PURPLE.
