Randy’s Life of Leisure

 

Red Hat Society – Old Bats & Red Hats of Lexington                         

 

 

Statement of Purpose: The Red Hat Society was begun by a few women deciding to greet middle age with verve, humor, and elan. We believe silliness is the comedy relief of life, and, since we are all in it together, we might as well join red-gloved hands and go for the gusto together. Underneath the frivolity, we share a bond of affection, forged by common life experiences and a genuine enthusiasm for wherever life takes us next. There are NO membership fees to join our chapter. I email everyone the monthly schedule and post it on this website. If you plan to participate in more "official Red Hat event's," you only need a pink hat and lavender ensemble if you are under 50, or a red hat and purple ensemble if you are over 50 years old. You will certainly require a sense of humor and interest to join other women in different fun activities. Again, events at my house are CASUAL. We only wear our regalia when we are out with other Red Hat Groups. Remember, you are welcome to join as many Red Hat groups as you like -- there are no rules about this. And in our Red Hat Chapter, we have no rules whatsoever.

 

To Join the Lexington Group, Old Bats & Red Hats, please send an email to randy@randygreen.com and provide your email address to receive our monthly schedule of activities. You may also call 339-223-0216 and leave a message on my voicemail. Our updated schedule of activities is posted on this website regularly. If you do not have an email address, then you can always check our Schedule online. Your filling out a Membership Form (above) is greatly appreciated though not required.

 

Don’t worry! Not all activities require you to get dressed in these silly outfits. You really can wear whatever you want. Sometimes our members just get a little out of control and require a roundup!

 

Members List: Link to Membership Information available upon request. We do not make this information public outside the membership so as to avoid unwelcome solicitations.

 

This is the official “Pin” for Old Bats & Red Hats of Lexington, which was kindly designed for us by Jan Hall. This lovely pin, about 1 1/2” wide, can be worn by itself on your dress or coat, or clipped onto your hat as decoration.

The hat pin costs only $10. Matching bat-only earrings (note pierced or unpierced) are available for $5. (Add $1 for shipping.)  They will be ordered in batches and available for purchase at Red Hat events or via post from Randy Green.

Bridge – Richard Strickland’s Lessons on the Zone

 

This is Richard Strickland (rstrickland@kc.rr.com). He provides FREE bridge lessons to anyone who has access to the Internet. He teaches Disciplined Standard American, as well as advanced lessons in other bridge disciplines. If you always wanted to learn how to play bridge, or if you need to be brought up to date with standard bridge conventions, these fun, informative, and skillfully taught classes are for you!  Just email Richard and he will provide you with the schedule.

 

To join a Social Bridge Group in Lexington, MA, please email randy@randygreen.com, or call 339-223-0216. We are enjoying some casual duplicate bridge on Thursday afternoons between 1 pm and 4 pm. If you don’t know how to play and want to learn, come on over. If you already know how to play, that’s fine too. This game is not intended for the blood-thirsty -- it is intended to be fun and social, and no one will care if you screw up. Light refreshments are served.

 

Following are sample notes from some of Richard’s classes. It is not imperative to attend every class, but of course, you will learn more effectively if you don’t miss them. Duh. These notes are useful as backup to Richard’s classes and for refresher purposes, and are not intended to stand-alone.

I retired, and closed my business in 2002.

20 years of it was quite enough, thank you very much!

The next 20 years are dedicated to enjoying family and friends

And having as much fun as humanly possible.
