Red Hats visit Ada

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, September 25, 2018

Here they are—members of the Red Hat Society exiting Viva Maria’s restaurant after lunch on Thursday.

Members of the Society—who now number 30,000 in the USA plus others in 30 countries—gather monthly...just for fun.

They wear red hats and purple clothing, because they can and don’t give a hoot if the colors are outlandish. They simply gather for fun: to lunch, see a movie or play, shop. The Red Hat Society encourages women in their pursuit of fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment and fitness in the quest to get the most out of life.

A small group composed of such persons is responsible for the renewed interest in an Ada High Annual. It is with sincere appreciation and praise that we dedicate this issue of the “ADA WATCHDOG” to that small but industrious group. This was the return of the Ada high school yearbook after some years without one.
