Are you looking for a chapter to join? Well stop looking, we are still taking members but I don'g know for how much longer. We are looking for women who want to participate and have fun once or twice a month with their sisters. This is a chance to have fun with your real mothers, sisters, daughters, bestest friend, or join us to make some new friends....The MAD HATTERS want you if you are wanting to participate. Take a day or an afternoon off from the men and children in your life and bond with us.Welcome to the "Mad Hatters Of Central Florida"a registered chapter of "Red Hat Society" where there is fun after fifty (and before) for women of all walks of life. We will dress up in our regalia, and take a little time out of our lives for ourselves. We will also participate in activities we find enjoyable, form a sisterhood, find bonds of affection due to the common life experiences. There will be genuine enthusiasm for where ever life takes us next. We will be silly, laugh, and put our daily lives aside for a short period of time and enjoy our sisters of the world. Our outings will consist of restaurants, plays, movies, shopping, flea markets, concerts, playing cards, and much more! The events will be dictated by you the members, as we will all share in the planning of the events.

Now Let's Have Some FUN!
"Ode to the Red Hat Society" by Sue Ellen Cooper
We read that poem, all of us, and grasped what she is saying. We do not need to sit and knit, although we all are graying. We think about what we can do. Our plans we have been laying. Instead of working all the time, we'll be out somewhere playing.
We take her colors to our hearts, and then we all go shopping for purples clothes and hats of red, with giant brims a-flopping. We're tired of working all the time, and staying home and mopping. We order pies and chocolate fudge, and rich desserts with topping.
We crown ourselves as duchesses and countesses and queens. We prove that playing dress-up isn't just for Halloween. We drape ourselves in jewels, feathers, boas, and sateen. We see ourselves on television and in magazines.
We laugh, we cry, we hug a lot. We keep each other strong. When one of us goes out for fun, the rest all go along. We gad about, we lunch and munch, in one big happy throng. We've found the place where we fit in, the place we all belong.
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 shoulders. She'd make her life a warmer place, her golden years much golder.
