No Campaigning At Our Meetings
Election Season Reminder
This time of year we get a flurry of visitors who are running for office and we want to remind you of some protocol for having candidates as your guests.
- Campaign signage, flyers or name badges need to stay in the parking lot
- Introductions are for the person and not the office they are running for
- Our club directory/database is not a tool for campaigns to solicit support
- Invitations to campaign events should not be distributed at our meeting
