"The Red Hat Society began as a result of a few women deciding to greet middle age with verve, humor and 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 wherever life takes us next."
Sue Ellen Cooper, Queen Mother
The official Red Hat Society was started by Sue Ellen Copper and her lovely friends in a tearoom in 1998. Thank you E.Q.M. Sue Ellen!
GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN!

Marking its 50th anniversary in 2007, West Side Story is the classic American musical of two rival youth gangs in New York City (Jets and Sharks) whose battle for turf and superiority provides the backdrop to an exploration of youth gangs, police relationships, prejudice and the romance of two young people caught in a violent cross-cultural struggle. The plot and main characters of West Side Story are loosely based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The story has been modernized and Americanized with the introduction of a racial theme - Tony, a member of an established white gang (the Jets) falls in love with Maria, whose brother is a member of the rival Puerto Rican gang (the Sharks). The Jets are contemptuous of the Sharks and look down on them as foreign newcomers. The Sharks wish to establish themselves as Americans and defend their new territory. As in Romeo and Juliet, the rivalry escalates and leads to great tragedy. The electrifying music of Leonard Bernstein and the prophetic lyrics of Stephen Sondheim hauntingly paint a picture as relevant today as it was fifty years ago.
Even people who have never seen the stage show or the Academy-award winning 1961 movie musical will remember many of the songs:
Tonight, I Feel Pretty, Maria, One Hand One Heart, Somewhere.
RED HAT EVENT ~ WEAR YOUR COLORS. NO HATS PLEASE ~ BUT A FEATHER OR FLUFFY THING IN YOUR HAIR WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.

Gather up your ghosts and ghouls and join us this October for a fun look at Hollywood's spirited history! You'll be joined for the day by your very own Ghost Buster Guide. You'll see the haunted Valentino statue at DeLongpre Park and search for filmdom's famous phantoms at Mann's Chinese Theatre. And to add to the fun, you'll ward off the vampires by stopping for lunch in Beverly Hills at everyone's favorite place for gourmet garlic cuisine, the Stinking Rose! After lunch you'll continue your tour of haunted Hollywood with visits to the Forever Hollywood Cemetery, the Hollywood Bowl and Griffith Park.
It's a fun trip you won't want to miss!!
Once Beverly Hills' best-kept secret, The Stinking Rose has made a name for itself and its popularity is evident-people fill the unique dining rooms to partake of the tasty food enhanced by the fragrant bulb.
You'll dine in a special banquet room where you'll enjoy a garlic laden luncheon. The three-course feast begins with Bagna Calda (garlic cloves oven roasted in extra virgin olive oil and butter) and the Stinking Rose House Salad. The main course includes each guest's choice of entre including 40 Cloves Garlic Chicken, Lemon Baked Salmon, Italian Meatloaf, Neon Ravioli with garlic basil Alfredo sauce, or Vegetarian Lasagna, all prepared with as little or as much of the pungent herb as you would like. The final course is the house made fresh frozen Custard Ice Cream and coffee or tea.

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple with a red hat, which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
"Hasten to gain friends from all sides by exercising the good deed of hospitality, dispensing generosity to all, and when you do not have the opportunity of doing good works, at least the gift of a kind word. Never consider that you have enough friends, but whether rich or poor, let them all be bound to you by the love of God."
~ St. Anselm
While visiting a friend in Tucson several years ago, Sue Ellen Cooper of Fullerton, California, impulsively bought a bright red fedora at a thrift shop, for no other reason than that it was cheap and, she thought, quite dashing. A year or two later she read the poem "Warning" by Jenny Joseph, which depicts an older woman in purple clothing with a red hat. Sue Ellen felt an immediate kinship with Ms. Joseph. She decided that her birthday gift to her dear friend, Linda Murphy, would be a vintage red hat and a copy of the poem. She has always enjoyed whimsical decorating ideas, so she thought the hat would look nice hanging on a hook next to the framed poem. Linda got so much enjoyment out of the hat and the poem that Sue Ellen gave the same gift to another friend, then another, then another.
One day it occurred to these friends that they were becoming a sort of "Red Hat Society" and that perhaps they should go out to tea...in full regalia. They decided they would find purple dresses which didn't go with their red hats to complete the poem's image. The tea on April 25, 1998, was a smashing success.
Soon, each of them thought of another woman or two she wanted to include, and they bought more red hats. Their group swelled to eighteen, and they began to encourage other interested people to start their own chapters. (Eighteen women don't fit well around a tea table.) Linda passed along the idea to a friend of hers in Florida, and their first "sibling" group was born.
In July of 2000, Romantic Homes magazine did a story about these two groups, and Sue Ellen began receiving e-mails from other women who wanted to know how they could join the fun. As of November 2007, the Red Hat Society has over 30,000 chapters in every state of the Union and twenty-five plus countries. RHS has become an international sisterhood. See www.redhatsociety.com for more information about RHS.
