*Parent:* MeetingGuide <BR> *Related:* MeetingContigencies *Table of Contents* %TOC% ---+++ Introduction These policies are intended to protect the group and it's members, and to ensure we can continue: * having good meetings * attracting quality speakers * attracting new members of all ages * retaining old members of all ages ---+++ Food and Drink Food and drink should probably not be brought into the meeting. * It is distracting, both to the speaker and to the attendees. * If it must be brought into the meeting, it should be distributed *before* the speaker begins. * People getting up to get food/drink during the meeting is *very* distracting, not to mention rude. ---+++ Alcohol Alcohol should probably not be brought into the meeting. A lot of our membership may be underage. Having alcohol around during the meeting may: * be illegal * make them uncomfortable * discourage some of them from attending * discourage their parents from allowing them to attend If alcohol is brought into the meeting: * accomodations for non-drinkers should made, out of courtesy * drinks should be acquired *before* the speaker begins, for the previously mentioned reasons --- Based mainly on a message from Main.PaulLussier.
