I'm sure the chapter knows the writing is on the wall, but they are included in the decision to close.
I just have to say that there was a moment at our Convention this summer that almost made me cry. We have a flag procession at the start of Convention - one flag for each chapter, carried by a member of that chapter. Included is a flag for all of our closed chapters. Well I noticed that the woman carrying that flag was crying, and it just made me think about how sad it must be to know that your chapter's book has closed. I think a lot of women would have a hard time turning the other cheek.
