Ok, here we go!

The object of Red Hatters is to have fun. That part I think we've got nailed. I'm not sure about registering or any of the rest.

Let's start by getting our virtual red hats out to show each other.

My winter red hat if soft fleece. Need it to keep warm on days like today when we're getting a foot+ of snow! I have purple gloves to wear with it!

My red hat is a red straw hat with a wide brim, sometimes called a picture hat. It is trimmed with purple flowers around the crown that match the purple pants and top that I wear with it. When it is cold, I will wear a purple scarf with the red hat on top. (What a visual!! )

My red had has a black face mask, a black stripe down the middle with two white stripes on each side of it. A gamecock logo on each side inside a white circle background. My hat is more of a garnet color than red though

I have a new pink #7 Ben R (Steelers) hat but since I'm over 50 I guess I'll have to go buy a red hat!!! Maybe not tonight since we have 7 inches of snow but I'll have one by Monday!!! If anyone is going to compliance school or grad school in Atlanta in April, we can have a get-together!!

I am over 50. I attended one meeting. (I think I am now a member?) It was very fun, but there is something about me that prohibits me from donning red and purple apparel and going out in public. (Perhaps I shall remain in the closet for a bit.) I do love the rules - THERE ARE NO RULES.

See you in April!! I attended the lending compliance school in 2003 and deposit school in 2004, first time at grad school. My niece lives in Atlanta so I'll come in a couple of days early to visit with the family. PM me and we'll connect up then.

As the originator of this group, I declare membership open to all female BOLers.

(Sorry guys. Go golf or talk football on another thread.)

Pizzaz, I suppose you can skip the hat IF you offer up an alternative acceptable to the other members.

Wear your colors proudly, all. Next week we'll have to work up the club motto.

I HATE the red hats! I'm an old lady and have a very good life. I don't need a red hat & purple dress to prove I'm an old lady. (My wrinkles, knee high stockings, flat heeled shoes, & knit pants with elastic waist are not uniform enough?) Joining the red hat society is like saying "I'm 50+ & don't have a life so I need to gather with a bunch of other 50+ woman that don't have a life either & will pretend were having a hoot."

I feel better. Thanks for letting me vent. Yup, this is one old lady that will not be wearing a red hat with her purple dress.
