1. All active members are
to adhere to the guidelines and code of conduct
set forth by Spirit Seekers.

your responsibility to ask someone in authority.

Spirit Seekers protocols, guidelines and / or codes
of conduct will be subject to immediate dismissal from the organization.
2. A written report is

All reports should comply with the report format provided for you, and
