RED HAT SOCIETY

Do you remember my blog about our most recent trip to the Midland Hotel where I mentioned all the women who arrived in their red hats?

It seems they belong to the Red Hat Society, a national women's organization created for women over 50 who wish to greet middle age with verve and humor.

According to their website CLICK HERE, the purpose is to be a haven for "silliness and unfettered happiness among women of a certain age", but underneath the frivolity, "to share a bond of affection, forged by common life experiences and a genuine enthusiasm for wherever life takes us next."

I mean, I don't know that for an absolute fact as I didn't talk with any of them, but I can't imagine what else they could have represented. There is a chapter in Salina and I presume they were on a field trip which included Wilson.
