Ladies, Several months ago, I received a postcard from the RHS asking for submissions of stories, memories and pictures to be included in a coffee table book of the Red Hatters. I submitted a story and some pictures and made a partial payment for the book. Last week, my money was refunded because of lack of participation. I checked the QMB and noticed a lot of people were not interested. I thought it was an interesting idea and a good way to see what other Red Hat Chapters around the world were doing. I know the book was expensive ($109) and I wonder if that is the reason so many were not interested. Did you receive a postcard and did you decline to participate? I'm curious, what was your reason to participate or not to participate. Inquiring minds want to know!
I received the post card AFTER they kicked me out for reasons which they refuse to tell me other than "they heard" I was not renewing which did not come from me. So, you know my answer. A great big "you've got to be kidding". And the book flopped but they got some memberships because of it........a rather sideways method if you ask me.
