A Red Hat Society Prayer
Loving Creator,In your extravagance you have painted
the world with bold strokes and gloried in our differences.

When colors proclaim our uniqueness,
let our little excentricities be expressions of our joy for living.

When our time together looks like a costume party,let our gatherings be a time of genuine community.

Most of all, use us:
Our flamboyance,
Our joy,
and our sharing,
that we may be
a blessing to all we meet Amen.

A portion of a prayer written by The Rev. Dr.Jack E. Blesom

If I don't have fun now,when will I start?
I have spent too much time caring what others thought!
I'll wear my new colors with verve and elan.
I'll greet other Red Hatters with a wave of my hand!

We'll all stand to-gether,
the reds
and the pinks.
we'll not give a damn what other folks think!

The Red Hat Society is far too Much fun!
And I'm here to say
~
I'm Proud to be one!!
S.Maugans,2003


Welcome to our site.
We hope you enjoy your visit to this silly place,
come back often to see any changes.

 
  A Special Thank-you

We would like to take this opportunity
to Thank the Founder of the
Red Hat Society
Sue Ellen Cooper.
The Exaulted Queen Mother of
The Red Hat Society

Because we have come to the conclusion
that although we all have very full lives
outside of, "The Red Hat Society".
Without this wonderful Dis-organization,
Life wouldn't be nearly so much fun,
and we wouldn't have nearly as many
wonderful sisters to share the fun with.

"Red Hats ON for Sue Ellen"

Legend*= Members of "The Broad"

"The Broad"is a take off on "The Board" a term which is way too stuffy for a Red Hat Chapter
The "Broads" get to-gether once a month usually a week or two before our monthly "Event" We make plans etc. for fun things to do.
We then report back to the members at the next "Event"
This plan works for our chapter,
Because it frees up our time
at our "Events"and makes them enjoyable and fun.
There are 6 "Broads" but any member is welcome to join us.

We are a chapter of 20 ladies.
We are all friends,
new and old friends.

Although we are listed as a closed chapter,
we would not turn any one away.

We also take great pleasure in helping any potential Founding Queen
form a new chapter.

  "Note Worthy"

We're Puttin On The Ritz is an official chapter of the
RED HAT SOCIETY.
We have only three rules in our chapter,they are as follows.

#1.-You Must wear a Red Hat
#2.-You must wear Purple attire.
#3.-You must RSVP for each "Event"

If you do not RSVP for three consecutive months,
we will assume that you no longer want to be invited to our "Events" and you will be taken off the mailing list.

Our "Events" are always held,
on the 1st Saturday of every month at 1:00P.M.
Unless the 1st Saturday is a holiday week-end.
Then the "Event" will be held on the following Saturday.

Our next "Event" will be posted soon. (Members please check back.)

"Be Happy"

The time to be happy is now.
The place to be happy is here.
The way to be happy is to make others so.
Robert G. Ingersol

Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves,
for they shall never cease to be amused.

"Hats ON to Laughter"


There are smiles that make you happy

 

" Nonsense"

I like nonsense~~~
it wakes up the brain cells.
Fantasy is a necessary
ingredient in living.
It's a way of looking at life
through the wrong end of a telescope and~~~
that enables you to laugh
at all of life's realities.

makes us all Diva-lish.
