1./ Respect confidentiality; what is said here, stays here. 2./ Let speakers finish what they are saying, before jumping in. 3./ Treat other members with respect. 4./ Understand that because of the nature of our illnesses, meetings can get very intense. 5./ Don't jump to conclusions about what other members are saying. 6./ We all benefit from one anothers' questions and thoughts. Don't shortchange yourself by waiting until the last 10 minutes of a meeting to bring up issues of cosmic importance. 7./ Don't monopolize the meeting--your problem may be incredibly important to you, but everyone else has a problem that is just as important to them as yours is to you. 8./ Turn your cell phone off or vibrate. 9./ While it is okay to bring in a small snack or drink during the meeting, full meals are not allowed. 10./ Winters only: if it is snowing, the meeting is cancelled.
