It can be very beneficial to join a women’s leisure-based social group. The purpose of the Red Hat Society is to include fun and excitement in every woman’s life. There are countless benefits involved with joining the Red Hat Society.

Members and Queens of the Red Hat Society are all connected to a group of women who are fifty years old or older, or are at least approaching the age of 50. The society allows these women to have a chance to connect with other women their age. Women are able to visit with other women who are having similar experiences to the ones that they are experiencing.

The RHS currently has a little over a million Members, stretched out over 30 different Countries. It is the largest international social organization for older women. Members are able to connect with members across the globe, if they so wish.

Start your goal of press coverage for your Red Hat Society
event by compiling a list of media companies you would like to invite. This will help you check off which companies you have contacted. Write down their names, addresses, phone numbers, and other contact information.

Then send the media companies, and their editors, an invitation to join you at your event. Send out the invitations at least two weeks before the event. This will help keep your event looking credible, and is a nice gesture of goodwill.

A week after you have sent them the invitation do a follow up. Re-send the invitation to your main media targets, and don’t send the invitations to the editors this time. Fax over a press release with all your event information on it to help the beat reporter plan their story.

The Red Hat Society is world-renown. A lot of people have heard of the popular Red Hat Society, but not everyone knows what members do. We aim to answer those questions in this article.

The RHS’s main purpose is to provide a helpful network for each other. It is their hope that this social interaction will encourage women to maintain friendships and have fulfillment in their lives. Members strive to journey through life with fun and freedom.

The Red Hat Society often gets mistaken for a sorority. The RHS is actually not a sorority, because it does not include initiations. The society is not considered a voluntary service club either, but rather an organization for women.

Members refer to each other as “Red Hatters”. Members over the age of 50 wear red hats and purple attired to all functions. The leader of these local chapters, or groups, is known as the “Queen”.

Women who are under the age of 50 are also invited to join the organization. A “Pink Hatter” is a woman who hasn’t reached the age of fifty yet, and she must wear a pink hat and lavender outfits. After she turns 50, she has a “Reduation” and graduates to the red hat with the rest of the RHS members.

Red Hat members get together regularly. Both Red and Pink Hatters enjoy wearing very eloquent and fun hats and fashion accessories to every event. One of the more popular accessories are the feather boa and pearls.
