A Gentle Reminder
Our meetings, with the except of the month we run the Show-bench, are scent free. Due to allergies/sensitivities we ask members and guests to please leave fragrances (perfumes, and other scented products) at home.
If you need to leave before closing comments, please do so as quietly as possible.
