I work at a nursing home an was wondering how do you start a Red Hat Society?
I guess you would have to be the queen bee and ladies would join as supporters, but a dues-paying sorority doesn't seem right for a nursing home imo. I would see if there's an established group near you that your members might join instead.
If you wish to be an official Red Hat, you must contact the website. Google it. However, our club operates as an official registered Red Hat club, but not all the members belong to the national organization. Our yearly dues are something like $5, which goes into the kitty for such things as get well cards or door prizes at gatherings. We take turns donating door prizes. You could likely get volunteers to donate things for nursing home residents.
Why not start something different? Like the pink boa ladies??
I have volunteered for years at a local nursing home and I'm not sure this is what you are really looking for. Are there mostly ladies in this home? Now, I will be the first to state that volunteers do not know all that goes on in a nursing home (like the regular workers do) but I do help with entertainment and many (most) are not capable of going places or really "dressing up" but the ladies do love pretty things. Most activities of the Red Hat Society is going places.
