RED
HAT SOCIETY
A place where there is fun after fifty (and before) for women
of all walks of life. We believe silliness is the comedy relief
of life and, since we are all in it together, we might as well
join red-gloved hands and go for the gusto together. Underneath
the frivolity, we share a bond of affection, forged by common
life experiences and a genuine enthusiasm for wherever life
takes us next. Come and enjoy singing, music, food, and
fun. Meets tentatively every 2nd Monday at 10:00AM. |
