Our group has fun. Just to correct one of the posts, Women over 50 aren't automatically members, rather they are eligible to join or form a chapter in their own community. Each chapter is fully sanctioned by the national organization of the Red Hat Society. There are over 30,000 chapters out there ladies!

Most groups meet at least once a month and hold other special events of all kinds. They're having a big get together at the Portland, Oregon race track this month, they're getting together at the Portland Zoo on seniors day, there are special events in several tourist towns in Oregon just for the red hatters. This is a large group of women to be reckoned with.....

Many women attend these functions. It is a way for us to show our spunk and have fun together. If we did it alone they'd probably haul us off to the funny farm...............

I'm the Queen of our chapter. I just launched a website specifically for the red hat women. It's a classified ads, sharing thoughts, photo gallery website just for us old women who sit around and do nothing Check it out! www.GotMyGrooveBack.net Advertise something you've been wanting to get rid of in your closets, advertise some of your handcrafted items, share a thought or two.
