Children may not attend events. Minimum age for attendance/membership is twenty-one.

Activities may include teas, lunches, dinners, train rides, visits to plays, places of interest, etc. – anything that would be fun and interesting.

Chapter members will take turns planning events.

The hostess for the month (Queen for the Day) will determine the location, date and time of that month’s event. There may be more than one event per month.

News of events will be communicated to members via e-mail in most cases. Members who have e-mail will deliver information to e-mail-less members whom they see regularly. Members may supply Queen Cynthia with stamped, self-addressed envelopes to receive broadcasts if no other form of communication is available.

We do not have chapter dues, but a Supporting Membership in the Red Hat Society ($20/year) is required. If funds are needed to pay chapter expenses, we will pass a red hat.

The chapter is closed and is limited to a maximum of twenty-five members. Members who miss three meetings a year without contacting Queen Cynthia or the Queen for the Day will lose their places on the roster. This policy will be administered with discretion so that if members stay in touch, confirm a continuing interest in the Re-Gals, and have a good reason for missing an event, they will remain members in good standing.

Guests at Re-Gals Events:

1. Members may bring guests to Re-Gals events with the permission of the Queen for the Day. There may be occasions when the size of the group must be limited so the hostess must be contacted before a guest is invited.

2. It is the responsibility of the member bringing the guest to explain to her that she will not be able to join the Re-Gals since our chapter is closed. Occasional openings may be filled with friends of members. Contact Queen Cynthia to determine whether or not there are openings.

3. A guest may only attend three events in one year, no matter who brings that guest. In other words, a guest may not come three times as one member's guest and three more times as another member's guest, etc. Since our chapter began in May, the Re-Gals year runs from May of one year through April of the next year.

4. In the event that there is an opening, a prospective member must attend three monthly events (not including monthly breakfasts) before being considered for membership. After that, she and Queen Cynthia will review these guidelines and determine whether or not she and the Re-Gals are a good match.
