Remaining Socially Active

For you females, the Red Hat Society™ offers an excellent venue to stay socially active. This society has evolved into the largest women's movement worldwide changing the perception of aging women. This organization uses the iconic Red Hat to have fun and bond as sisters as they travel through life together.

Red Hatters are focused on women over 50. This worldwide sisterhood has nearly 40,000 chapters across the US in all 50 states and in more than 30 foreign countries. Each chapter averages about 20-25 members. Their full regalia for outings include red hats and purple clothing. Membership includes a diverse network of women including working women and retirees, grandmothers, golfers, attorneys, teachers, Olympians and entertainers.

I'm an Advocate

There is a Red Hat Society in my little town, but I've not joined. I think my husband and I have almost become recluses. We enjoy being with others, but are always glad to get back home.
Any suggestion I offer is intended as friendly advice based solely on my own experience. Please consult your doctor for professional guidance.
