The Red Hats of Barefoot Bay is a group of 34 individual Red Hat chapters from the Bay area. Red Hat chapters are made up of ladies, (mostly) over 50, who are looking to make new friends and have lots of fun. You may have seen us in local restaurants wearing purple clothes and wild red hats. If you are one of those ladies who has handled all your family and business responsibilities responsibly, and are now ready to kick back and take some time for yourself, Red Hatting may be for you. Chapter lunches, teas, theater events, and area-wide Red Hat Hoots keep over-50 ladies active, excited, and slightly zany. If you are interesting in joining or starting a Red Hat chapter, please contact Sandra Kuckenbecker, BFB chapter coordinator, at 664-3865 for information about Red Hatting in Barefoot Bay.
