Thread: Who's Dorothy? And her "Friends"?

On an episode of The Simpsons, Madge was invited to join a group of ladies who wear red hats.

Never heard of Friends of Lois. Dr. Bob, I heard was a friend or co-founder of AA with Bill as far as I know.

When my daughter was 3, she decided to check out one of the piano lounges on a cruise. She took a seat with all the women surrounding a woman pianist, playing songs such as "My Girl." Hubby and I had to keep from laughing at the sight.

Now who are the friends of Dr Bob? That's a new one for me...'

Dr. Bob and Bill W. Formed AA...............

quote -inspiration from a popular poem entitled "Warning" by Jenny Joseph, which begins "When I am an old woman..." Since the poem mentions wearing a red hat and purple attire, she and her friends formed a group that met on a regular basis for tea in their red hats and purple dresses—in public, of course.
I actually have a book of the poem. It is titles "When I am an old woman I will wear purple"

Never heard of Friends of Lois before

As for the Red Hat Society, they frequent the Mission Inn (a historic hotel in Riverside, CA) for lunch all the time!!! They're red hats and purple outfits just crack me up!!!

Friends of Lois is an email group with a strong focus on Al-Anon recovery. We generally have one new topic per week and ask every member who is able to share on the topic. Shares are limited to topics, one of the Steps, Traditions, Concepts or a request for help; no announcements or off-topic chat. We have a separate list which serves as a forum for occasional business issues and for group conscience discussions. Subscribing to Friends of Lois automatically subscribes one to the business list, but the member may opt off the business list at any time without affecting their Friends of Lois membership.

Friends of Lois grew originally by word of mouth (or email) and is made up mostly of people who were on AOL. Our meeting has existed for several years and is registered as an online group with Al-Anon World Service Office. This means we are also listed on the Online Al-Anon Information Service web page making us more accessible to those seeking on-line Al-Anon meetings.

Dolores...thanks so much for that explanation!!! It great to know that such email lists exist!!!
