LADIES LOVING LIFE (LLL) BASIC POLICIES & PROCEDURES
(we don’t have many rules but we do need some to keep the group running smoothly & to be considerate of our fellow members & event venues)
BASICS:
**LLL needs a picture of you in your profile, not your pet, kids, car, etc. Everyone wants to be able to identify/meet you at events.
**Make sure your phone/computer settings are set up to receive postings of new events & messages from organizers/members. Check the group’s website regularly.
EVENT RSVP/WAIT LIST:
**PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you read the ENTIRE description of an event, this includes RSVP deadline dates & payment dates. Want to attend? Just hit ATTEND to respond yes.
**Our events are always open to LLL members first. If an event allows guests, you will be able to add a +1 to your RSVP. If the event is not open to guests, you will not be able to add a +1. If your guest wishes to join you at the event, your guest will need to join the LLL group. If your guest does not wish to join the LLL group, & you both still wish to attend the event, we are sorry but you, & your guest, will not be counted in the LLL table reservation seating. Reservation seatings are always open to LLL members first.
**If you RSVP yes & the event is full, you will be placed on a “wait list”. It is your responsibility to check the event to see if you have been moved up to the RSVP. list from the wait list (members cancel for a variety of reasons, so your chances are good).
**If you still have a question on an event, please contact the host(s) through their Meetup profile. Just click on their picture & you will be able to send them a private email.
**Out of courtesy & respect to our host(s) & our event venues, please do not RSVP to an event unless you are committed, please do not RSVP with the thought of “I’ll sign up & plan on going until something better comes along”. You can always check back later if your schedule permits & RSVP yes to an event.
**PLEASE check in with your event host, we want to enjoy this event with you, have you meet & mingle with other members, & make sure that you arrived safely.
**If you have RSVP'd yes to an event & change your mind, it is your responsibility to remove yourself from the RSVP list, not the host(s).
**Cancellation of your RSVP for restaurant events is 72 hours (3 days), 48 hours (2 days) for all other venues, unless noted in the specific event posting. If you cancel after that time, you will be marked as a no-show. You are responsible for removing yourself from the RSVP no matter when you cancel your RSVP, not an organizer or the event organizer. LLL needs to be considerate of restaurants & venues & their staffing needs.
**LLL has the “3 strikes & you’re out rule”. If you RSVP to an event & do not show up, are past the deadline for removing yourself from the RSVP list, or change your mind at the last minute on attending, we mark you as a “no-show”. Three “no-shows” & we sadly remove you as a member for 3 months.
MEMBER REMOVAL FROM GROUP:
**Three "no-shows" & you will be removed from the group for three months.
**All of us at LLL want to build friendships/community, so if you have not attended an event within 3 months, visited the LLL website within 3 months, exhibited inappropriate behavior (see below), or are continually RSVPing to events & cancelling, you will, sadly, be removed as a member for three months.
**Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated at any LLL event. This includes, but is not limited to: habitual lateness, rudeness, bullying, harassment of any kind, discrimination, being disrespectful, interfering with a group event in any way, etc. Said member will be immediately removed from the group.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST & THE MOST IMPORTANT:
HAVE FUN, MEET NEW PEOPLE, TRY NEW THINGS!
**If you ever have any ideas for a fun event, please contact LLL's organizers!
