It begins "When I am an old > woman/I shall wear purple/With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit > me..." I'd like to have a copy if anyone has it. It seems that this poem > has inspired women all over the country to form Red Hat Societies, informal > groups of women over 50. There are no rules, no memberships, no dues, just > an opportunity for women to come together and enjoy each others company. > They are bound only by their red hats and purple garments and the fact that > they are all over 50. I read about this in our paper and showed it to a > friend and we've decided that we since we both already wear a lot of purple, > we just need red hats. I told her I'd try to get a copy of the poem, so if > anyone has any idea what I'm talking about, could you send me a copy of it, > please? > Thanks, > Eleanor > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
