SAHFF Ritual Etiquette

Just a Few Guidelines....

Family Responsibility.

Every family is responsible for their family unit at events.

We love your kids, but we aren’t their babysitters.

Please keep your kids (and yourselves) away from items such as fire, alcohol, sharp knives,

hot food, sticks, stones and anything you think might be a danger to them.

Food for All.

Please bring enough food and drink for your family. We don’t charge for events, so they are all pot luck.

Please don’t bring a bag of chips for a family of 12 and then expect us to feed you.

If we all bring enough food to feed ourselves, there will be plenty of food for everyone.

Mark your food.

Many people have allergies or dietary preferences that forbid them from eating certain foods.

Please tape a list of ingredients used in your food to the bowl or tray holding it.

Also, please put your NAME on the food, so we know who to return the bowls to if you leave them behind.

Conversely, if you have an allergy or dietary need please check the ingredients before eating anything.

Behavior.

We expect children to be children and we know they shuffle, mumble and move about,

or run around the circle, or need to pee at "interesting" moments.

These are all fine.

However, if your child is visibly ill or visibly upset

(as in having a temper tantrum or crying hysterically),

please remove your child from the ritual area during the ritual.

If your child recovers or returns before the ritual is over, please rejoin the ritual.

This goes for parents too.
