| THE RED HAT SOCIETY was founded in April 1998 by Sue Ellen Cooper, or as she playfully refers to herself as "Exalted Queen Mother" for women over fifty. The Red Hat Society reserves the red hat and purple attire for members age fifty and above. For those who have not yet reached fifty, the Red Hat Society is thrilled to have you join as a Pink Hatter or "Lady in Waiting". Pink hatters wear pink hats and lavender attire until they have reached "The Birthday". The only rule of the Red Hat Society is "There are No Rules!" The Red Hat Society now has over 41,000 chapters in many countries and about one million members worldwide. Doctors are starting to prescribe the Red Hat Society for older women to get out and have some fun with fellow sisters! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

ODE TO THE RED HAT SOCIETY 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. ~ Sue Ellen Cooper, Queen Mother, Founder of the National Red |
