---+++ 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
