IMPORTANT!
Cell phones and side conversations have become a huge issue during business meetings.
Apparently, whatever we say hasn't been registering in to your heads. So maybe this will- 
to raise $ for our stand up cause, we will have a "swear jar" styled tzedaka (sp?) box. If we catch you with your phones or having side conversations that aren't just a quick comment, you will have to donate money into the jar. Our business meetings are supposed to be taken seriously in a positive environment where we actually listen to what everyone has to say. I know some of you like to put events into calendars, but all the events are on the website! Or bring a note pad! Side conversations are disrespectful to the board, the chapter, the advisors, and to whomever is speaking. 

Board members put A LOT of work into planning our meetings. Please be respectful and stop talking when we ask. We're a big chapter, so just try to resist the urge to talk to your friends every 5 seconds

Mother/Daughter Shabbat will be on Nov. 30!
