![]() ISSUED FROM HATQUARTERS HAPPENINGS: A NOTICE TO CHAPTERS We received a call from the registered trademark owner of the term, "Red Hot Mamas", which is a menopause education organization. The trademark owner has brought it to our attention that a significant number of our chapters use their trademarked name, "Red Hot Mamas" in the name of their RHS chapter. Unfortunately, such use is prohibited by law as it is a direct infringement of the owner's intellectual property rights. To protect our chapter Queens and RHS from possible legal action, we are asking all chapters with the term, "Red Hot Mamas" in their name to please change their name as soon as possible so as to avoid any problems now and in the future. Please log onto "My Account" on the RHS website, and click "Update Profile" and change your chapter name. Make sure to click "Update Member Profile" to save all changes. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Happy Hatting! ![]() ![]() We have no official rules, although to be a red hatter, you must be 50 and over, wear a red hat and a clashing purple ensemble at all gatherings - to keep up the spirit and purpose of the (dis)organization. If you are under 50 - no worries - you are known as a Pink Hatter and proudly wear a pink hat with a lavender ensemble. When you reach the age of 50, you will RED-uate to the traditional colors. Gals under 30 are known as 'Pinkettes' and wear an ivory hat and pink outfits, they may embellish their hat with pink. We believe that this adds an element of fun to aging, which we think is invaluable to women in our society. We say that there is fun after fifty, as well as before, for women of all walks of life. The relief of life is comedy and light heartedness. Since we all share this walk together, we join our red-gloved hands and go for the enthusiasm for wherever life takes us next. Sisterhood ....A very special bond with very special ladies!
Our main responsibility is.....TO HAVE FUN!!!

'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.' So she did and she had a wonderful day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. 'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.' So she did and she had a grand day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail.' So she did, and she had a fun, fun day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. 'YAY!' she exclaimed. 'I don't have to fix my hair today!' Attitude is everything. Be kinder than necessary, For everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly....... Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain. ![]()

RED HAT CONVENTIONS April 23 - 25, 2010 - MISSOULA RED HAT BIRTHDAY CONVERGENCE Click here for more info April 30 - May 2, 2010 - SANDPOINT IDAHO HOEDOWN For more information check out the website: www.sandpointredhathoedown.com THIS IS YOUR SITE Be sure to send in your chapters upcoming events so that we can post them on the website. ![]() ![]() QUEENS' COUNCIL Queens' Council, promotes fun, friendship and frivolity to all those in attendance through meeting and networking with each other. PURPOSE: to bring Chapter Queens closer together: 1) to share regional information, ideas and events 2) to discuss issues 3) to solve concerns that may arise 4) most importantly – to make new friends. It is important to note that no one person runs, or is in control of the Queens’ Council (QC). It is for ALL Queens and Vice-Queens to share with one another. Each Queen will be treated as a Royal equal. No hierarchy will exist. No one is to delegate authority over others. It contradicts both the spirit and casual structure of the RHS. FOUR LEVELS OF RED AND PINK HATTERS What Is Your Level? Within most Red Hat Chapters, there seems to be 4 Levels of involvement: Level 1 – “Highly Involved” – not only do they wear colors but enjoy gaudying and glitzing up – they wear hats - attend local area events & conventions – RSVP on time - corresponds with ladies in other chapters – collects anything red & purple – and enjoy talking about the Red Hats. Level 2 – “Normally Involved” – wears colors – has fun – RSVP on time – sits with different ladies from the chapter to get to know them better - may or may not enjoy talking about the Red Hats. Level 3 – “Barely Involved” – wears colors but doesn’t really like to (wears them only because they have to) – doesn’t wear hats or purple at times – waits until the last minute to RSVP – tend to sit with the same ladies - give other activities priority. Level 4 – “Don’t Know Why They Bother”– won’t wear a hat – won’t RSVP – has to be called & reminded of gatherings – sits with certain ladies – and the list goes on. The following can happen: Some of “Level 2” ladies after a few gatherings get all excited and really blossom into glorious Red/Pink Hatters – it just takes them a little time to gaudy up. With “Level 3” a few may blossom – the most we can expect from them is to grow into being “Level 2”. Talking with these ladies about RSVP on time may or may not work. That leaves “Level 4” – These ladies either aren’t ready for the Red Hats – going through something at this time – or they are just the type of woman that is not happy and will never be happy no matter what they do. There may be hope for “Level 3” but no hope for “Level 4’s” – they seem to drop out after a while. RULES OF THE HATS Casual hats for "at home" outings. Fancier hats, feathered clips, etc. for outings. No hat! Heaven forbid... it would be cause for deCAPitation!!!!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

COCOA: THE NEW VITAMIN! Yes, Seriously. According to a study published in Chemistry and Industry, native Panamanians (who drink cocoa regularly) rarely suffer from strokes, cancer, heart disease and diabetes. The researchers believe it's because cocoa contains epicatechin, a nutrient that protects the body from illness. Research has yet to be conducted on the antioxidant propertoes of marshamllows! Throw off the structures of Society, my dears..have fun...be outrageous Spend your children's inheritance on Brandy, Boas and gloves! Make up for the sobriety of your youth! Excel in your age and savor life. Indulge yourself because you deserve it! At age 50+ a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN looks at herself in the mirror...sees wisdom and laughter; puts on a red hat and goes out to have fun with the world! Be an inspiration to others because if you can't be an inspiration you'll serve as a warning!! ![]() DIET TIP Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It will take the edge off you appetite and you will eat less! RED HATTERS - Eat dessert first. - Aspire to laugh much and grow old playfully. - Are proof that there is life after wrinkles. - Embrace the freedom age brings.
- Live the second half of life outrageously.

HAVE YOUR SAY Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!" WARNING by Jenny Joseph 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. 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 a pickle 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 will have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practise a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old and start to wear purple. Written out by Elizabeth Lucas"
