RED HAT SOCIETY MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL RED HALO & PURPLE WINGS CHAPTER RED HAT MART WEST COAST QUEEN COUNCIL GROWING BOLDER GOODTIME GIRLS RED HATTERS
|
|
The society takes its name from the opening lines of
the poem Warning by Jenny Joseph, which starts
When I am an old woman
I shall wear purple With a red hat
that doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
"The Red Hat Society began as a result of a few women deciding to greet middle age with verve, humor and elan. 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.
- Sue Ellen Cooper, Queen Mother
We are the mothers, grandmothers, and daughters of society. Little girls grow up, but they're never too old to play dress-up and have tea parties. The standard answer to the question, "What do you do?" is... Nothing. Our main responsibility is to have fun! Our aim is social interaction, and to encourage fun, silliness, creativity, and friendship in middle age and beyond. This is the place to have fun and enjoy yourself.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside,thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!! WHAT A RIDE!!!
Truly A Friend
Someone to lean on when problems appear,
Someone on whom you’d depend,
Someone who’ll lift you when you’re down in the dumps,
That someone is truly a friend.
That’s how I feel about you my dear friend;
You’re so special just as you are.
Just to know that you’re there provides comfort to spare;
A friendship like yours sets the bar.

Remember "A good friend will come bail you out of jail....
But a true friend will be sitting next to you saying ..
"Darn girl that was fun!"
Everyone wants to ride in the limo with you.
What you need is someone to ride the bus with you when the limo is broken.
OPRAH
Extend a kind hand to the people in your life who use anger to hide their sadness.
purple hugs and red kisses
