The MZ-TEA-Rious Ladies Red Hat Society was founded June 2000 -- on discovery of the RHS in July 2000's Romantic Homes magazine.  We started with just two -- Founding Queenette Dianne and Co-Queen Sharon.  Within 6 months we had grown to 14.  Our first official tea was a "Valentine's Tea", held Feb 3, 2001 at Elise's Tea Room, Bixby Knolls, CA.
