Code of Conduct for First Monday in Greenville Meetings

Please note the Poinsett Club is a private club, and we are guests of a member, so to maintain our good standing with the Club and to be a proper guest, we must adhere to the following.

No entry into the dining room until 11:35 am this allows the Poinsett Club and our registration team to be properly prepared.

Be kind to our Registration Team do not toss your check at them and walk away – please wait to be properly signed in.

Food, be understanding of the available Poinsett Club menu choices. While we try to accommodate special diets, please note that the Club (due to our contract) is not required to offer any special meals. We try to accommodate your meal choice when you register in advance.

Note – the Club provides one breadstick and one cookie per seat at the table.

We are a respectful group – give our speakers your undivided attention and refrain from talking when someone is at the microphone.

When asking a question – keep it short and specific to the topic. Our audience appreciates sincere questions, so refrain from personal adulations disguised as an inquiry.

Do not argue with our Speaker – some of our speakers may not reflect the views of First Monday. We bring speakers who, by their position or job, may affect your everyday life. If you do not like what was said, listen politely and reflect quietly. And note that we might not be the organization for you.

Do not bring notebooks, folders, literature, etc., to hand out. First Monday is not a venue for promoting your personal interests or issues.

Only literature approved by Deb, Paul, or Heather may be placed on tables for distribution.

Please note that while we are not part of the Republican Party, we are long-time Republicans who enjoy listening to a speaker, eating a good meal, and making friends. We have been around for over 30+ years in Greenville. All are welcome to our meetings but know we will not tolerate anyone who is disruptive, disrespectful, or unkind to the First Monday team, the Poinsett Club team, or your tablemates. If you do not abide by our Code of Conduct, you will be removed and not invited back. Member or non-member.

At First Monday, we treat everyone with respect and courtesy. Thank you for continuing the civility with which we have all become accustomed.

Thank you for adhering to our Code of Conduct for First Monday and the Poinsett Club. We look forward to seeing you.
