I joined my Red Hat group on April 13, 2013. I will always remember that day because it was the day of the Boston Marathon Bombing. We heard about it on our drive home. I've really enjoyed being a Red Hatter. Some of our ladies can no longer attend the lunches because of their age. One long time member, Elizabeth, gave us all her red hat regalia. She sure had a huge selection. Another short term member Sandy also gave us some items. Today we had our monthly lunch in the recreation room of one of the members condos in North Burnaby. We were all told to please take something to remind us of Elizabeth and Sandy.

The Red Hat Society's philosophy is centered on fostering fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment and fitness for women as they age. Our group doesn't stress fitness but we sure have a lot of fun. It was founded in 1998, the organization serves as a "disorganization" or social network that encourages women to "recess" from the responsibilities of daily life to enjoy companionship and unapologetically embrace the aging process.Here is the hat I choose. It's over the top! I also got a lovely purple boa. Our dollar store only has red ones!
