Baby Boomer Women: Consider the “Red Hat” Network

Baby boomers, like other groups, need networks.  What kinds of networks?  Well,  consider the “Red Hat Society.”  No, I’m not talking about a network of Linux users.  It’s a network of women over the age of 55 who get together for fun and various activities. And networking, of course!

I remember seeing a bunch of women wearing purple and red, with red hats, in a restaurant.  That color combination doesn’t do a thing for me, but I was interested to see how much fun they were having (no drinking, as I could see).

As networks go, this one has been great for many women.
