![]() 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! We had a NO TALENT SHOW. 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. In December all 14 of us went on a Carribean cruise together. What fun! The Rosebuds are about more than just doing lunch. We have something for everyone: A craft group, Pinochle group, Book Club group, plus we have one outting a month which includes food. Many of us golf together or play mah jongg together. The Rosebuds get to pick and choose their activities and can do as little or as much as they want each month. There will be NO grass growing under our feet! We embrace getting older but we refuse to grow up or get old! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ROSEBUD HANDBOOK
Membership: Chapter's Founding Queen is Lois Walsh and
Reigning Queen for 2008-2009 is Lois Walsh, Queen by Default and Vice Queen is Ann Brand. Ann is in charge of scheduling monthly crafts.
The queen and vice queen position is for one year. The vice queen schedules crafts. On our chapter anniversary in Novemeber we elect a new queen and vice queen. This year no one would take the position so I am QUEEN BY DEFAULT.
By majority vote it was decided to limit membership to 14 members, therefore our chapter is closed at this time.
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 are $20 and are collected in 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. In Novemeber 2008 it was decided to suspend dues until money is needed, since we still have enough funds in our treasury. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
