The Red Hat Society is a nationally recognized organization with chapters in every state. It came from a poem a woman wrote who said that when she was old she would wear purple with a red hat. In other words, she was going to do what she wanted and didn't give a rat's *** what people (like you) thought of her. You can become a Red Hatter at 50 and a Pink Hatter at 40. It's just a way to have fun. They have lunches, dinners, shopping getaways, pj parties, etc. They have a hierarchy with the Queen at the top. I don't belong but have been to some of the events. They're a lot of fun. Don't be too critical of us old fruitcakes. You'll be one one day. Maybe then it will be the Magenta Baseball Cappers.

The Red Hat Society has as its origin a signature gift given by SUE ELLEN COOPER to friends to help celebrate their fifty year birthday . It has evolved into a national organization with over 29,000 chapters and an estimated membership of over one million women

I deal with members of the Red Hat "Gang" all the time.
You'd understand why I call them a "Gang" if you've ever been the victim of a drive-by perfuming...

We have them in Nebraska. I think it's just a reason for little old ladies who are bored to have an excuse to get together and socialize.
