This is the sign: crossing the pointer finger and the middle is the sign for red and tapping the head is the sign for hat ****
"Therefore, we're going to use this sign as our official greeting for each other when we are in public and not wearing our regalia. It allows us to be playful even when we are in a serious setting such as the workplace or church. So the next time you see a Red Hatter outside of a meeting, cross your fingers and tap your head in a Red Hat greeting."

Who didn't love blowing bubbles as a child? Since bubbles bring our "inner child" and they are a tradition of the Red Hat Society, we will be adding them to our events.
Queen Mum or Vice Queen Pam will have bubbles for each of you. You can also purchase them for $1 at the "DollarTree" store or Wal-Mart.
Stock up on bubbles and bring them to our events!
