There seems to be an explo-sion of Red Hats everywhere.With new chapters formingweekly, these very active age50+ women are becoming in-creasingly visible evidence ofwomen linking to enhance theirenjoyment of life. Followingmany holiday celebrations,members of the PhenomenalRed hatters, The Exquisite Di-vas, the Whimsical W-RedHatters (all affiliated with theWoodlawn Senior Center) andhundreds of other chapterstraveled to Las Vegas to par-ticipate in the Red Hat Society’s10th anniversary celebration.  Thanks to the attention todetail of casino host, RobertFoster, of the Flamingo HiltonHotel, our local chapter wastransported from the airport ina purple limousine. The limou-sine ride was just the start offour days of fun and frolic forthe Red Hatters. During theevent, over 1,700 women,topped in red hats and purpleoutfits, plumes and can-canskirts formed a chorus line thatstretched over a mile down thestrip. Hopes were high that theGuinness Book world recordfor the longest chorus linewould be broken. The numbersare currently being verified.  Back at home, The Wood-lawn Whimsical W-Red Hat-ters met for a Valentine’s Dayluncheon at City View Restau-rant. Representatives from sev-eral Red Hat chapters wereinvited to Martin’s West fordinner and a lecture on jointpreservation and reconstruc-tion .
