Talk:Standing Rules/@comment-173.11.6.237-20150608175922

How about "Guidelines" or "General Rules"? It would be nice to include in the roster so everyone has the same reference. If the Board knows it but the members don't, it creates more issues.

The first two lines do sound harsh but were included for various reasons. No children was to avoid young children and daycare issues. I think we discussed "well-behaved children' might be allowed at meetings?  We also debated about having Junior members to encourage younger quilters but that didn't pass.  I am fine eliminating it but I really enjoy an evening with adults and no children.  Would we attract more members if they could bring their young children and not get a baby sitter?  Who would step up and ask a member to remove their child?

Charity quilts: the original reason for spelling this out was due to the smaller number of members and that other guilds were available for those who wanted to be involved with these opportunities. That said, I think we could eliminate that sentence/rule.

Speakers selling books/products. Eliminate that item. This is addressed under programs.
