Guidelines, Attendance Policy and FAQ's

To keep the easy going flow of this group, there are only a few rules and regulations:

• You must bring a positive attitude at any and all events
  
• There is a ZERO tolerance for gossiping or 'talking about' any members or non-members. We can't say that we're building bonds with sisters and in the next sentence you're breaking down a fellow sister. That's a no-no!
  
• We ask that you give ideas and suggestions for this group. BBAS is not just about the organizers. This is a family affair!
  
• You must complete the survey when joining and upload a picture of yourself. If you are not comfortable with uploading a picture on the World Wide Web, we understand but the survey MUST be filled out.
  

If anyone is caught participating in the first 2 'infractions' you will be immediately removed from the group.


ATTENDANCE AND RSVP POLICY

Building the Bond Amongst Sisters is an active group that participates in many things such as bowling, plays, dinner and cultural activities, just to name a few. We will also become heavily involved in community related activities and volunteering. Our plan is to become locally recognized so having a high percentage of 'active' members is very important. Although we do not expect nor are we asking members to attend every meetup, but we do ask for the minimum:

• You attend atleast 1 activity a month
  
  

If this is not met, you wil be removed from the group.


RSVP is a very important tool. Most Meetup members RSVP in a timely and accurate manner (hooray!). But some members can be slow to RSVP, lax in changing their RSVP when something comes up, or worse, not even show up when they said they would (boo!). That's unfair to the Organizer, to members who could have attended in their place, and to members who expected a greater turnout (sad). With that being said we ask that you:

• RSVP in a timely manner
  
• If you RSVP yes and you can not make it, please change your RSVP accordingly. If its a last minute change, contact the organizer.
  
• Please do not 'blind RSVP' - saying 'yes' to any and all just to hold your spot.
