THE BAY AREA AMPHIBIAN AND REPTILE SOCIETY:
Meeting Guidelines
- We encourage members to bring reptiles to the general meetings,
but they should be brought in suitable travel containers (including a source
of heat if necessary). All animals must be kept in their containers during
the business portion of the meeting. Aggressive,
sick, delicate or in-shed animals should not be brought to the meetings
(for their sake, for that of the humans attending, and to protect others'
pets from harm.)
- Meetings start promptly at 8pm, please take a seat
by that time. (Doors open at 7:30pm )
- Items (including reptiles) may be sold at the general meetings
, but BAARS should receive (at least) 10% of the sales amount. An announcement
of the items for sales should be made during the business portion of the
meeting, under "good of the order".
- During guest speaker presentations, people attending meetings
should be relatively quiet to show respect towards the speaker and so that
others can hear the presentation. Also, during presentations, reptiles
should not be passed around unless it's under the direction of the guest
speaker.
- Children can definitely be brought to the meetings, but
should be relatively quiet and (hopefully) remain seated during the presentation
of the guest speakers.
