Level 1 – “Highly Involved” – not only do they wear colors but enjoy gaudying and glitzing up – they wear hats - attend area & national conventions – RSVP on time - corresponds with ladies in other chapters – collects anything red & purple – and enjoy talking about the RHS.

Level 2 – “Normally Involved” – wears colors – has fun – RSVP on time – may or may not enjoy talking about the RHS

Level 3 – “Barely Involved” – wears colors but doesn’t really like to (wears them only because they have to) – doesn’t wear hats or purple at times – waits until the last minute to RSVP.

Level 4 – “Don’t Know Why They Bother” – won’t wear a hat – won’t RSVP – has to be called & reminded of gatherings.

The following can happen:

Some of “Level 2” ladies after a few gatherings get all excited and really blossom into glorious red/pink hatters – it just takes them a little time to gaudy up.

With “Level 3” a few may blossom – the most we can expect from them is to grow into being “Level 2”. Talking with these ladies about RSVP on time may or may not work.

That leaves “Level 4” – These ladies either aren’t ready for the RHS – going through something at this time – or they are just the sort of woman that is not happy and will never be happy no matter what they do.

There may be hope for “Level 3” but no hope for “Level 4’s” – they seem to drop out after a while.

All said and done – there is only so much we can do with some women. We can plan fun and exciting gatherings and lead by personal example BUT we can not dress them – keep calling them about reservations – hold their hand, pamper them or spoon feed them fun and silliness.
