Rules, Regulations and
Membership Fees

While the Society has normal rules and regulations, most of which have little to do with the membership, it does have a few simple guidelines we would ask its membership to follow:

1. While we understand that discussions can get heated on the spur of the moment, we would ask members to avoid personal critiques. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and no one opinion is better than any other.
2. While constructive criticism of another's work is highly regarded and wished for, we would please ask members to refrain from putting down your fellow member's work. If you can't find anything good to say about it, perhaps you can come up with an idea to make the work better instead of simply criticizing it.
3. Participate.

Members may bring guests to meetings but, should the guest become a regular attendee, we would request that they become a paying member. Guests are not eligible for door prizes at specific events, but may be for raffles.

Projects, contests or any other form of information that we feel might benefit our members will be considered for our website, at the sole discretion of the Steering Committee.
