What is the Red Hat Society and what does it do?

If you’re an energetic, playful and spirited woman from 21 to 50 years of age and beyond, the Red Hat Society wants you!  Created in the late 1990s among a circle of friends, it has blossomed into an international organization intent on celebrating women with enthusiasm.

The Red Hat Society is a worldwide social club for women.  Easily identified in our gorgeous red and purple colours.  The primary focus is about fun and friendship, especially for those over the age of 50 years of age.  Hatters get together in groups (chapters) to socialize and have fun.  It is non-religous and open to all women.  Women over the age of 50 wear the Red Hats and Purple clothing (“Red Hatters”), women under the age of 50 wear Pink Hats and Lavender clothing (“Pink Hatters”).  As it is a Society for women, husbands and other males, as well as children are not generally invited to attend.

There is Only One! Join the Fun!
