Two West Volusia chapters of the Red Hat society have reason to cheer. Not that the feisty ladies need a reason; the Red Hats are known for bursting into spontaneous gaiety. Two members of these chapters have recipes in The Red Hat Society Dessert Cookbook — Eat Dessert First!. Sandy McConnell, queen of the Dazzling Red Hat Sisters of DeLand, won a place in the cookbook with her fudge rum cake recipe. "It's chocolate and booze," she said. "How can you go wrong?" Lois Dill, a member of the River Red Hatters of DeBary, took Page 264 with Red Hat Easy Chocolate Fudge. Society News Blog Comment: According to their website: "The Red Hat Society is a social organization where there is fun after fifty (and before) for women of all walks of life."
"While visiting a friend in Tucson several years ago, Sue Ellen impulsively bought a bright red fedora at a thrift shop, for no other reason than that it was cheap and, she thought, quite dashing. A year or two later she read the poem "Warning" by Jenny Joseph, which depicts an older woman in purple clothing with a red hat. Sue Ellen felt an immediate kinship with Ms. Joseph. She decided that her birthday gift to her dear friend, Linda Murphy, would be a vintage red hat and a copy of the poem. She has always enjoyed whimsical decorating ideas, so she thought the hat would look nice hanging on a hook next to the framed poem. Linda got so much enjoyment out of the hat and the poem that Sue Ellen gave the same gift to another friend, then another, then another." "One day it occurred to these friends that they were becoming a sort of "Red Hat Society" and that perhaps they should go out to tea... in full regalia. They decided they would find purple dresses which didn't go with their red hats to complete the poem's image." "The tea was a smashing success." "Soon, each of them thought of another woman or two she wanted to include, and they bought more red hats. Their group swelled to 18, and they began to encourage other interested people to start their own chapters (18 women don't fit well around a tea table). One of their members passed along the idea to a friend of hers in Florida, and their first "sibling" group was born." Something unique! Society news blog is impressed. A whole new approach to living! Isn't it? But their stringent insistence on following a dress code may turn it into another dogmatic religion sooner than later. That's how we formed all the religions on earth, through their symbols. Society news blog warns them. Beware, red hats! Wanna have some bidding fun with 'Red Hat Society' on ebay auction?

Queen of chocolate — Sandy McConnell, queen of the Dazzling Red Hat Sisters of DeLand, made it into the Red Hat Society dessert cookbook, Eat Dessert First!, with her recipe for fudge rum cake. "It's chocolate and booze," she said. "How can you go wrong?"
"The Red Hat Society began as a result of a few women deciding to greet middle age with verve, humor and elan. 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."
