Thanks so much for the comments. It would appear, tho, that there are a few misconceptions about the Red Hat Society. It's NOT just for the elderly retired group. Don't get me wrong, they are having a grand time of it! I for one don't consider my age of 53 to be OLD. I am not looking for anyone who wants to do OLD things. I am thinking about maybe a once a month gathering of like minded gals who want to do something with "their own kind". Possibly a sunset picnic from a few boats; dinner at a place that can be reached by boat; hiking around a not too populated island with lots of chatter. As far as the purple goes, it's and outfit of purple. Whatever the activity demands...t-shirt. bathing suit, sweatshirt...it all depends on the purpose of the gathering. As for the hats, there are gatherings that will be screaming for a wide-brimmed-trimmed-to-the-hilt hat; some that will need a baseball cap; and some that I might ask Skipper of the Sea Que if I can borrow his cute little hat...I promise I will get all the purple feathers off before I return it to you

Thanks for the Welcome, Rattlesnake Gal. I haven't yet, but I will check out the Newcomers. In answer to your question YES! Pink Hatters would be encouraged if we can get a group together. I am still a member, altho it's a long drive, of a Red Hat group in Auburn, just outside of Manchester. We have no one over 60 in the group of 15. The membership is divided almost equally between Red and Pink Hats. The youngest is 38. I really would like to get something going with a group close to my new home.

So, I don't know the proper protocal here...if there is any interest, should I tell people to contact me privately, or do we continue to do it here? I dont want to be breaking any rules. Can you help me out?

I do want to say that I have been watching the forum for a little while before jumping in here. You all sound like really nice people. Even if I don't get a group together, I will still be watching the forum. There is no question that we are going to love the area...we already do!
