I do solemnly swear on my Red Hat that I will do my best to uphold the spirit of the Red Hat Society, supporting my sisters. I promise to greet middle age with humor and take my silliness seriously, with respect for all. I promise to regularly practice laughing and having fun. I promise to wear proper attire at every Red Hat function. I promise to eat dessert first, if I want to. I promise to dispel the notion that a woman my age is old.
Copied from a good friend who is a very enthusiastic Red Hatter.
