POLICIES & PROCEDURES

Along with the Membership Agreement; these are some of the definitions of CSN policies.

ACTIVITY POLICIES:

CONDUCT:  Anyone attending a CSN function is expected to conduct him or herself in a Christian manner.

R.S.V.P.:  Certain activities may require and will indicate if a reservation is needed.  When you have made a reservation for a certain activity, you are expected to attend and arrive promptly.  Out of courtesy and respect to other members, if an emergency prohibits your attendance, you are expected to notify the activity coordinator first or CSN if you are unable to contact the coordinator.

USAGE OF MEMBERSHIP DATA: The membership directory shall be used only for networking of individual CSN Members.  Usage of data including e-mails and phone numbers for mass marketing, commercial use, non-CSN purposes, advertising, non CSN group activities, or any non-approved communications is strictly prohibited.

MEMBERS ONLY AND OPEN ACTIVITIES:

MEMBERS ONLY: Many CSN activities are for MEMBERS ONLY and are not publicized to the general public.  When the activity says Guests Welcome, you may invite any number of nonmember guests on a one-time basis.  After that, they must join CSN to attend additional MEMBERS ONLY activities, just as the rest of the CSN members have.  This gives nonmembers an opportunity to get acquainted with our Network.

OPEN: Some activities are publicized and are OPEN to the public and may include Dances, Camping/Rafting Trips, Picnics, and Volleyball etc.  Nonmembers are not limited to the number of OPEN activities they can attend.

ALL MEMBERS: When an activity does not state a specific group it is for ALL MEMBERS regardless of age. 

SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS: Some activities are categorized by age and are not meant to discriminate against any member.  Age ranges are only provided as guideline suggestions.  If you are somewhat older or younger then the specified age group and want to attend that activity, you can!

GUESTS: CSN Members can invite any number of GUESTS to a MEMBERS ONLY activity on a one-time basis.  After that, they must join CSN to attend additional MEMBERS ONLY activities, just as the rest of the CSN members have.

ALCOHOL & SMOKING POLICY:

ALCOHOL: is prohibited at CSN sponsored activities or gatherings.  However, some public facilities in which our activities are being held might have alcohol.  In such cases other nonalcoholic beverages are usually available.  Smokers who want to smoke at an event can simply go to the proper smoking area.

PRIVATE ACTIVITIES: Any CSN Member who uses the CSN forum, whether from a CSN Activity, Member Directory, or Web Site, and has a private event which includes other CSN Members, must inform those Members if alcohol will be present.

ACTIVITY / EVENT VENUES:

INDOOR CSN ACTIVITIES: may be conducted in Club Houses, Homes, Churches, Restaurants, or any respectable facility.  If alcoholic is present then non-alcoholic beverages should be available.
