Get Organized in 2025 the Red Hat Way!

As we step into a brand-new year, it’s the perfect time to put on our organizing hats and set the stage for an amazing 2025! Let’s channel our creative energy into setting Hatter goals, creating inspiring "Hatter Vision Boards," and organizing our Red Hat Society lives for maximum fun and fabulousness.

Set Hatter Goals for 2025

What do you want to achieve this year as a Hatter? Perhaps you’d like to host more events, connect with new members, or explore exciting themes for your gatherings. Start by writing down your top three goals and share them with your chapter—accountability and teamwork make everything more enjoyable!

Create a "Hatter Vision Board"

Grab your glue sticks and a stack of magazines! Vision boards are a fun and visual way to manifest your goals. Include pictures of dazzling hats, colorful outfits, exciting destinations, and any RHS-inspired dreams. Host a vision board party with your chapter to bond while crafting your future together.

Organize Your RHS Year

Planning ahead is the key to a stress-free and successful year. Here are a few tips to get started:

• Hat Organization: Display your hats in style! Use hooks, shelves, or even a dedicated hat rack to keep your collection tidy and accessible.
• Jewelry Organization: Sort your statement pieces by color or type. Jewelry boxes with compartments or hanging organizers are a lifesaver.
• Wardrobe Exchange: Arrange a wardrobe exchange event with your chapter. It’s a fabulous way to refresh your wardrobe while sharing the joy of RHS fashion.

For Queens: Update your Rosters

Queens, now is the time to ensure your chapter’s rosters are up to date. Double-check that all members are current with their dues and no one’s membership has expired.

Need inspiration? Just look to Queen Linda C. of the Royal Order of the Drama Queens from Orange, CA. Linda recently had RHS member Kay deliver their chapter’s renewal to Hatquarters. Twenty-three renewals, four new members, and one returning member—now that’s getting organized!

Best Practices for 2025

• Use a Planner: Mark important RHS dates and events in a planner or digital calendar.
• Delegate Tasks: Assign roles to chapter members for events to lighten the load and foster teamwork.
• Communicate Regularly: Keep everyone informed with newsletters, group texts, or emails.

By setting goals, organizing your year, and cleaning up those rosters, you’ll set the tone for a year filled with laughter, friendships, and unforgettable memories. Here’s to getting organized the RHS way in 2025!
