Welcome to the Delightful Dizzy Dames SiteOur Statement of Purpose
The Red Hat Society began as a result of a few women deciding to greet middle age with humor. 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. We also encourage women under 50 to join as they are our future.
Our group meets every third Saturday of the month and we are growing by leaps and bounds, needless to say some of us can't literaly leap and bound!!! But we are all heart and enjoy the time we get to spend with our fellow Red Hatters.
While visiting a friend in Tucson several years ago, Sue Ellen 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
Excert from the poem
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
