Club Reminders
Hope you all had a great New Years. We are all looking forward to an awesome year at TMP. We hope to see everyone out at lots of parties and having a great time. Since we are in the New Year I just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone of a few things.
Don't forget to check out the Calendar here for all of our upcoming events. We have a theme or game or something every Saturday. We also welcome your suggestions, there is a suggestion box at the club, or you can also e-mail we_swing_4_fun_in@yahoo.com and leave your suggestions there.
The Friday special is going over so well, we will be keeping that going for awhile. If you want to come both Friday and Saturday night, you can pay for the whole weekend on Friday and pay only Saturday's price.
Singles, there have been some changes to the singles policy for both the ladies and gentlemen. If you are a single please read the singles policy in the links section here on the blog.
Membership cards, we still have some people who are coming in without their cards. Membership card must be shown at the door every time you come into a party. If you do not have your card we will gladly replace it for you, but you will have to pay for a new membership. Membership is a yearly fee, and we do not keep records other than the card you are given as to who has or hasn't paid for their membership, so please remember to bring your card along with you. We apologize for not remembering whose we have or haven't seen recently, but we have so many members that it is impossible to remember everyone, so please don't be offended if we ask to see your card.
Lockers are only to be kept by members who attend parties at the club at least twice a month. If you are there less than twice a month and leave a lock on a locker at the club, the lock will be removed and the contents placed in the lost and found. We keep a list of who belongs in which locker, and any locks left behind without letting a staff member know you are doing so, will be cut off. If you do attend at least 2 parties a month and wish to keep a locker please let a staff member know the locker number and your name(s) so it can be added to the list as an approved lock.
Please also remember that The Meeting Place is also Phyllis' home and everyone should treat it as such. The staff at the club are only volunteers, we go home just like the rest of you to real jobs and families and we really do appreciate everyone who cleans up after themselves. If you do see something that needs attention, please at least let a staff member know, don't leave it for someone to come across by mistake. We do ask that everyone leave the club by 11:00 a.m. after a party so the staff has a chance to go through and clean, and still have time left in their days to take care of their needs at home. If your unsure of who is a staff member, they are easily identified by the name badges they wear, just look for members wearing clear plastic name tags.
While the club is BYOB, and you are welcome to spend the night, encouraged in fact if you are drinking, please drink in moderation. Excessive use of alcohol only leads to problems and complications. What fun is it to drink until your sick or pass out? Not much for anyone, so please drink responsibly.
Please also remember our number 1 rule, no means no. This is for everyone not just the gentlemen. Ladies please respect the men as well when they say no, you would expect them to respect you. Be courteous to people, ask permission before joining in or touching anyone, and if they say no be understanding. Everyone has different comfort levels, and we want everyone to have a good time and be comfortable doing so. Don't take a no personally, it may just not have been a good time for what ever reason. Again if your having a problem please let a staff member know, we can't do anything about a problem if we don't know or find out weeks or months later.
With all that being said, we are looking forward to a great year at TMP. We have lots of fun events planned, and our hope is that all of you will come out and just spend some weekends enjoying yourselves. TMP above all else is a social club, and we have some of the greatest members around. There have been a lot of great friendships formed there over the years and I am sure many many more to come.
So Happy New Year Everyone!
See you at the club soon
