I recently bought two shirts at a thrift store that were purple and covered with applique. When describing them to a friend over the phone, my friend announced that they must be from a member of the Red Hat Society, since one of the themes of the Applique is Women in hats and all the the applique is red (red on purple).  I had never heard of the Red Hat Society.

My friend couldn’t have been more right.

The Wikipedia says there are 70,000 members and 24,000 chapters… That means the average number of people per chapter is just under 3.  Interesting.  Also, I think this is brilliant and possibly even sad and evil marketing for the ‘official’ site/organization.
