![]() Welcome to the Jewels of DeLite # 49741. An Official Chapter of the Red Hat Society. Registered January 16, 2005 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What is the Red Hat Society? We are a play group for women. We encourage our members to take a little time out for themselves occasionally, to play with their friends and participate in activities they find enjoyable. In other words, we offer women one thing: RECESS!! Recess from the normal day routine. IT ALL STARTED WITH A POEM... The Red Hat Society ![]() ![]() ![]()

Red Hat Society DayThe Red Hat Society celebrates it's birthday on April 25, the anniversary of the very first Red Hat Society gathering. It is up to each chapter to decide how they want to observe our official holiday. Some of my group has joined in with many other ladies in the area to celebrate. The first year there were 625 ladies and last year 750. What a site to see. A sea of Red and Purple. And what fun we have. ReduationsWhen a Pink Hatter reaches the magic birthday of 50, her chapter may choose to put on a "reduation," a ceremony of whatever kind the members come up with. During the ceremony she will finally attain her first red hat, an event much to be anticipated. Until a member is old enough, she will continue to be "reducated" by her chapter on the types of behavior that will be expected of her when she achieves full Red Hat status. Until that point a Pink Hatter wears lavendar clothing and a Pink Hat. After age 50 you wear purple clothing and a Red Hat. And as many accessories and BLING as you want. We love feathers and things that sparkle! ![]() Titles In the spirit of play, every Red Hatter is encouraged to dream up a title for herself. Royal titles are particularly encouraged. In our chapter I told the ladies to try and put a Jewels name in their titles since we are the Jewels of DeLite. I think they did well. Official Instrument The Kazoo. Why? Anyone can hum and play one. It's very portable and very affordable. Official Red Hat Society Flower ![]() Isn't it PRETTY? A new hybrid Poppy "Drama Queen" is named the Red Hat Society's official flower. What better choice than this gorgeous furled and frilly red and purple tulip - even the perfect RH name!

![]() If my body was a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull ... But that's not the worst of it. My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close. My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently. But here's the worst of it -- Almost every time I sneeze, cough or laugh..... either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.

Quick look at Next Month ![]() ![]() Gert is having her birthday this month. ![]() A Windy Day ![]() An old lady was standing at the railing of the cruise ship holding her hat tight so that it would not blow away in the wind. A gentleman approached her and said, "Pardon me, madam. I do not intend to be forward but did you know that your dress is blowing up in this high wind?" "Yes, I know," said the lady. "I need both my hands to hold onto this hat." "But madam, you must know that you are not wearing any panties and your privates are exposed!" said the gentleman in earnest. The woman looked down, then back up at the man and replied, "Sir, anything you see down there is 85 years old. I just bought this hat yesterday!" |
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 golder. 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. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I love this flag!! ![]()

Thought for the Day![]() The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. ![]() ![]() |
Funny for the Day One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob: "If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts." ![]() Some people are like Slinkies. They really don't have a purpose. But they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
