REDUATION CEREMONY

No longer is 50 a birthday to dread --
but cause for celebration instead.
We salute a former Pink Hatter
as we proudly proclaim that RED HATTERS MATTER!

Now gather ye round, and join hand in hand,
and ask that our sister please stand.
As we carefully lift her pink hat from her head --
we replace it today with a chapeau in red
and we shall drape purple over her shoulder
it is color we wear as we grow older.

Reduation complete -- we announce on this day
Our sister is ready to come out with the big girls and play!
