Are there any RHS international rules?

The spirit of the Red Hat Society forbids rules, per se. There is, however, ONE inflexible guideline that we must insist upon:

You must be a woman of 50 or over (or you may be a Pink Hatter under 50), and you must attend functions in full regalia, (red hat, purple outfit for women 50 and over, or pink hat and lavender outfit for women under 50).

Ladies are strongly encouraged to follow these color guidelines, and to NOT wear purple/red until they have reached THE BIRTHDAY. This adds an element of fun to aging, which we think is invaluable to women in our society who have learned to dread aging and avoid it at all costs. We believe that aging should be something anticipated with excitement, not something to dread.

The Red Hat Society encourages its members to adopt and maintain a positive attitude. We believe that the quality of an individual's life is determined, to a very large extent, by her own attitude. We do, in fact, reap what we sow. The sisters of "Les Femmes de Bon Temps" sow only positive thoughts and deeds.

Attitude is – very nearly - everything. There is no denying that good health runs an extremely close second. The better you feel, the more you can do. The more you can do, the more fun you can have! And the sisters of "Les Femmes de Bon Temps" chapter of The Red Hat Society will always be about fun!

Lunch together
at Valenza Restaurant, Meadville, PA

Welcome to the place where 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.

We have a wake-up call opportunity to get real and be real with each other by finding ways to show love, give love, be love, without spending a lot of money.

We have enough youth.
My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first one being - hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.
