Hey folks, lets remember to be respectful to our hosts at meetings.
At all times, at any event, all tailgate sales and set-ups for personal sales should be in the parking lot. We need to remember that we are guests of the whoever is hosting us. We do not want to compete with their gift shop sales or interrupt demonstrations! We are representing the group at these events.
