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.
