Now, here's the official rules...

TERMS OF USE

This group is intended for children up to age 5 years. If you have older children, they are welcome to attend NEMIT events in public venues as long as they are accompanied by a younger sibling. If we are meeting at a private venue (ie someone's home) you must contact the host if you want to bring your older child and make sure it's OK. Children other than your own will not be allowed to attend playgroups that are hosted at a NEMIT members home unless you have a written note from that child's parent. The note must explain that the child's parent knows where they are and that the host is not liable if something were to happen to their child. The host must also say that it is OK for the child to attend. This mainly effects anyone who runs at home day care, and the rule is instituted to protect the hosting mom from any potential liability should a child become hurt.


The first time you sign in, please post an introduction of yourself on the messages board. Please do so right away - if you take longer than 48 hours to introduce yourself, your membership will be suspended. If your membership is suspended, you will have 3 days to contact organizer before your membership is deleted.

You must agree to the following rules before becoming a member:
1. Be an active member! Although we ask you to post on a regular basis, we are not a chat room. The primary focus of this mom's group is to participate in social gatherings - playgroups, parks, mom's night out, etc. We ask that you make an honest effort to attend our playgroups at least once a month. We state clearly where we are from on the home page. Do not apply if being too far away from us to participate in playgroups will be used as an excuse not to attend. If the schedule doesn't fit your needs please let us know. We will be happy to accommodate your schedule as best we can. If you are inactive for more than 30 days you will be subject to having your membership cancelled - with or without notice.

If a hostess of an in-home playgroup does not feel comfortable having a new member she has not personally met in her home, those new members will be restricted from that playgroup until they've had a chance to participate in a group outing or otherwise meet that hostess.

When you RSVP yes for a NEMIT event you are making a commitment. You are saying that you plan on attending and that we'll see you there. Hosts use those yes RSVPs to determine how full their house will be and if they need to run out and get more juice boxes etc. If you need to change a yes RSVP, please try to do it 24 hours before the event. Of course there will be reasons for canceling last minute, but please if you do, be sure to not only change your RSVP on the NEMIT site, but contact the host of the event. It’s all about being considerate!

2. No lurking! New members must post an introduction within 48 hours of being accepted. If you do not post an introduction, your membership will be suspended and you will need to contact organizer to reinstate your account. You must also contribute - posts, playgroups, etc. on a regular basis to keep your account active.

3. No Soliciting! The purpose of this board is to help moms meet up, make friends, and socialize their children. If your sole purpose of joining this group is to advertise, solicit parties, or sell products, your membership will be cancelled.

4. Be Respectful and Tolerant of Others! Please understand that there are many parenting styles you may experience in a moms group - some of which you probably will not agree with. While you have a right to voice your opinion and defend your answers, please be respectful and tolerant of others. Do not use this group for personal confrontations, debates, etc.

You must agree not to upload, post, e mail, transmit or otherwise make available any content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially or ethnically offensive.

5. This group is primarily SAHM's (Stay At Home Moms). While we do not discourage working moms, if your work schedule prevents you from participating in activities as stated above then this is not the group for you.

6. Respect the Sick Policy.

Please do not come to a meeting if you or your child has any of these symptoms:


1. has a fever or has had one within the last 24 hours
2. has vomited or has had diarrhea within the last 24 hours
3. exhibited any symptoms of childhood communicable diseases such as, but not limited to,
