| Meeting Etiquette |
| Active
participation leads to experiences.
Experiences are important; they are something we like to share with others. We like to discuss our experiences with others. This increases our relationship with others. Increased good relationships translate into happiness. |
| Discussion-Etiquette:
Listen closely without interrupting a
speaker. Reply passionately without being obnoxious, rude or aggressive. Human relationships rely on passion, compromise & tolerance. To diffuse a situation; agree to disagree. |
| At all
Gatherings,
Supporters, visitors,
Elders
&
Members
are addressed as custodian-guardian (1st name) everyone is equal. Elders & Members are leaders with honorary titles. |
