                     The Red Hat Society How It All Got Started

While visiting a friend in Tucson several years ago, Sue Ellen (Red Hat Founder)
impulsively bought a bright red fedora at a thrift shop, for no other reason than
that it was cheap and, she thought, quite dashing. A year or two later she read
the poem "Warning" by Jenny Joseph, which depicts an older woman in purple clothing with a red hat. Sue Ellen felt an immediate kinship with Ms. Joseph.
She decided that her birthday gift to her dear friend, Linda Murphy, would be a
vintage red hat and a copy of the poem. She has always enjoyed whimsical
decorating ideas, so she thought the hat would look nice hanging on a hook
next to the framed poem. Linda got so much enjoyment out of the hat and the
poem that Sue Ellen gave the same gift to another friend, then another,
then another.

One day it occurred to these friends that they were becoming a sort of
"Red Hat Society" and that perhaps they should go out to tea...
in full regalia. They decided they would find purple dresses which
didn't go with their red hats to complete the poem's image.

The tea was a smashing success.

Soon, each of them thought of another woman or two she wanted to include, and they bought more red hats. Their
group swelled to 18, and they began to encourage other interested people to start their own chapters
(18 women don't fit well around a tea table). One of their members passed along the idea to a friend of hers in Florida,
and their first "sibling" group was born.

Sue Ellen's fondest hope is that these societies will proliferate far and wide. We have now held three successful Red Hat
Society conventions — entire hotels filled with women of a certain age wearing red hats and purple outfits!
Could world domination be far behind?

************************************************************************

The Red Hat Society teaches us that there is fun after fifty (and before) for women of all
walks of life. 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.
Underneath the frivolity, we share a bond of affection, forged by common life experiences and a genuine enthusiasm for wherever life takes us next.

************************************************************************

 
  Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one
hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming...


WHAT A RIDE

In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman - Margaret Thatcher

Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies - Cora Harvey Armstrong

MAKE A SPLASH


Remember, unless you are cheese or wine... age doesn't really matter!

 
 


********************************************************************************************


When I am an old woman I shall wear purple with a red hat which doesn't go, and
doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves and satin
sandals, and say we've no money for butter......
