Be respectful of schedules and deadlines.
If you have committed to participate in any Lighthouse event, please be on time. If you are signed up to chaperone, please show up. You should send your payments, if applicable, to the leader by the set deadline. If you are participating or volunteering and arrive early, please wait for the leader to get there. Because LCHA is a volunteer-led organization, we seek to support our club leaders, committee leaders, and event coordinators by making their job as simple as possible. We understand that illnesses and emergencies are unavoidable. However, leaders need time to adjust their plans if you are unable to attend, and we always want to allow waitlisted families to participate in events. Please consult our Absence Policy for more information on how you can help:
Please remove your signup/cancel your RSVP within 48 hours of the event if you are unable to attend. If you have signed up to bring something or volunteer in some way, please find a replacement for yourself or coordinate with someone to bring your supplies for you.
If 48 hours’ notice is not possible (we understand this is common!), please contact the leader of the club, event or meeting directly to notify them of your absence. If you are able and you have signed up to bring something or volunteer in some way, please find a replacement for yourself or coordinate with someone to bring your supplies for you. (If you are unable to do this, please let your leader know and they can help!)
If you do not notify your event leader of your absence, you will be sent a reminder email with the LCHA Absence Policy.
If you are absent without notification two (2) times or more, leaders may ask you to refrain from signing up in the future (depending on the nature of their club/social/event).
