"A Registered Chapter of the Red Hat Society"

The Queen definitely has Hattitude!
The idea for the Red Hat Society is based on the poem
"Warning"
which begins, ''When I am an old woman,
I
shall wear purple with a red hat that doesn't go
and doesn't suit
me...
and ends,
"But maybe I ought to practice a little now?"
by Jenny Joseph,
So we all dress up in our red hats and
purple clothes and paint the town.
This ''disorganization'' has no official rules.
Of course, to be a
Red Hatter,
one must be fifty years old or older
and wear a
red hat and a clashing purple ensemble
at all meetings to keep up
the spirit and
purpose of the ''disorganization''.
Women
under fifty must wear a pink hat and lavender attire until
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 aging should
be something anticipated with excitement,
not something to
dread.
Statement of Purpose:
Eat dessert first.
Aspire to laugh much and grow old playfully.
Are proof that there is life after wrinkles.
Embrace the freedom age brings.
Practice being audacious older women.
Are not for the faint of heart.
Feel challenged to live the second half of life outrageously.
The Red Hat Society began as a result of a few women
deciding
to greet middle age with verve,
humor and enthusiasm.
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.
Now I lay me
Down to sleep,
I pray the Lord
My shape to keep,
Please no wrinkles
Please no bags
And please lift my butt
Before it sags.
Please no age spots,
Please no gray,
And as for my belly
Please take it away.
Please keep me healthy,
Please keep me young,
And thank you Dear Lord
for all that you've done.
