This year our mtgs are THE 2nd TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH~ please note in calendars

A vow to sisterhood:
“If I light your candle from mine, it doesn't diminish my light, it only makes mine twice as bright. We pledged to sparkle with friendship and frivolity, and to encourage laughter wherever we go, making times together memorable.”

"Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others."
Amelia Earhart

"Ode to the Red Hat Society" by Sue Ellen Cooper

A poet put it very well. She said when she was older,
She wouldn't be so meek and mild. She threatened to get bolder.
She'd put a red hat on her head, and purple on her shoulder.
She'd make her life a warmer place, her golden years much older.

We read that poem, all of us, and grasped what she is saying.
We do not need to sit and knit, although we all are graying.
We think about what we can do. Our plans we have been laying.
Instead of working all the time, we'll be out somewhere playing.

We take her colors to our hearts, and then we all go shopping
For purples clothes and hats of red, with giant brims a-flopping.
We're tired of working all the time, and staying home and mopping.
We order pies and chocolate fudge, and rich desserts with topping.

We crown ourselves as duchesses and countesses and queens.
We prove that playing dress-up isn't just for Halloween.
We drape ourselves in jewels, feathers, boas, and sateen.
We see ourselves on television and in magazines.

We laugh, we cry, we hug a lot. We keep each other strong.
When one of us goes out for fun, the rest all go along.
We gad about, we lunch and munch, in one big happy throng.
We've found the place where we fit in, the place we all belong.


Beads of Friendship/ Chapter Bracelet
We had a great time exchanging the beads/charms we brought and making the bracelets out of them. Thanks to THE Queen's daughters for the donation of their beads to help complete the bracelets.
