Our Mission
We are the women in the red & pink hats. We are the mothers,
grandmothers, and daughters of society. Little girls grow up, but they're never too old to play dress-up and have tea parties.
The
standard answer to the question, "What do you do?" is... Nothing.
Our main responsibility is to have fun! We see this
group as an opportunity for those who have shouldered various responsibilities at home and in the community their whole lives,
to say goodbye to burdensome responsibilities and obligations for a little while. This is the place to have fun and enjoy
yourself. The refrain of the popular Red Hat Society theme song by Mike Harline puts it rather bluntly: "All my life, I've
done for you. Now it's my turn to do for me."
Our History
"The Red Hat Society began as a result of a few women deciding to greet middle age with verve, humor
and elan. 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."
