A BIG WELCOME FROM THE RED HAT ROSEBUDS AN OFFICIAL RED HAT CHAPTER
The Red Hat Society is a social organization where there is FUN after fifty.
The idea for the Red Hat Society is based on the poem, "Warning" which begins, "When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple with a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit me," and ends, "But maybe I ought to practice a little now" by Jenny Joseph.
This picture was taken in November, 2007 at our first anniversary/birthday party. Everyone is present! Zee had a splint on her arm wrapped in a red hat scarf. She was unable to do her special talent of juggling. I have her down as first on the line up for next year. Standing left to right: Dee, Annie, Sadie, Jeanette, Lois, Ann, Mary, Barbara, Sara. Sitting: Marie, Claudell, Zee, Marge, and Carole WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET
Membership: Chapter's Founding Queen is Lois Walsh and
Reigning Queen for 2007-2008 is Jeanette Seese and Vice Queen is Marie Krondach. When Marie is out of town Sadie Hanson will take over duties of Vice Queen.
The queen and vice queen position is for one year. On our chapter anniversary in Novemeber we elect a new queen and vice queen.
By majority vote it was decided to limit membership to 16-20 members. Currently we have 14 members.
Rosebud Guidlines: Show up. Have fun. Do your share. Be kind.
Duties and Responsibilities: Each member will be queen for a day by hosting an event and earning her Queen for a Day badge complete with a sterling silver tiara. The hostess is responsibile for getting all the information out to members, including, price, directions, parking, etc. Members are to RSVP to the hostess. If you do not RSVP, you will be missed.
Each member will volunteer or be appointed a position or duty to help the group to run smoothly. Example postions are Hystarian who keeps our scrapbook, Songbird who leads our offical song and Head Ding-A-Ling who keeps order.
Regalia: Since we are a red hat group, a purple outfit and a red hat is to be worn. White or black pants are fine but one must wear purple top. If you don't wear a hat or colors then you are required to sing, "I'm a Little Tea Pot," and do the hand gestures. It was decided by the group, that anything worn on the head is a hat, therfore, red headbands, bows, caps, visors,and lampshades are fine. During your birthday month, colors are reversed and a red outfit and purple hat are worn. The queen has purple hats to loan if you do not have one. Dues: Dues of $20 are collected each November or with new members at the time of her joining. The money will go toward the RHS membership renewal and expenses incurred in the operation of the chapter. Members will recieve a treasury's report in the monthly newsletter. Dues are not refundable if a member moves or leaves the group. If more money is needed then we will have a FUN Raiser such as 50/50, a silent auction, or yard sale.
Red is the color of passion and this color will not only bring out passion it will also give you engery. Purple gives a spirital feeling but the most beautiful royal attire is a SMILE.
A friendship true is like pure gold--
it won't wear out because it's old.
A friend is a word the very sight of which
in print makes the heart warm.
A friend is a rare book, of which but one copy is made.
The most valuable antiques are old friends.
Friendship improves happiness and abates
misery by doubling our joy and dividing our grief.
Friendship is the silver key
that unlocks the door to happiness.
Friends by Helene Notestine
Friends are like jewels that sparkle and shine:
You cherish them more with the passing of time.
Friends are like trees that bend with the wind;
They give you the strength to stand straight once again.
Friends are like flowers that add beauty to your life;
They help you through your heartache and strife.
God must have known in his infinite way
To give you a friend would help make your day.
Have fun. Be yourself. Spend your children's inhertance. You deserve it!! Sit down on the pavement when you are tired. Roll down a hill. Go fly a kite. Make up for the sobriety of your life. Do laughing yoga and teach everyone around you to do it too. Skip to my lou. Excel in your age and savor your life. Eat dessert first. Put on a red hat and purple outfit and be outrageous! Commit random acts of silliness!
I don't want to grow up, I'm a Red Hat Rosebud!
Sisters by choice not by birth. Good friends are hard to find, easy to love, and are a present that lasts forever. Sisters share their stories and their laughter and tears. I love my sisters!
This is forever friendship.
This is the Sacred Red Rose.
The only rose without thorns is FRIENDSHIP.
