PARKING: Please do not park in the driveway, but instead park along the opposite side of the road as the house is on, making sure to leave space for traffic & emergency vehicles. We encourage you to carpool to cut down on the number of cars parked on this country road. Go up the driveway and enter the house from the rear.

ALCOHOL POLICY: All potlucks are open to people 18 & older, and if anyone under 21 attends, we will card everyone who wants to drink alcohol and obviously not serve alchohol to anyone under 21, and we remind everyone it is a crime to give alcohol to someone younger than 21 and for someone under 21 to use alcohol. Q-MoB takes its commitment to preventing underage drinking very seriously. Because of Eventbrite Guidelines, men under 18 are not permitted at any Q-MoB event unless they have parental consent and this consent has been verified by Q-MoB.

CARPOOLING & RIDE-SHARING: Because parking is limited, we encourage you to carpool, and Q-MoB's Ride Coordinator will be reaching out to people who indicate they ae willing to carpool and to find rides for men who don't have cars. Car pooling helps you make new friends & neighbors, save money on gas, reduce your carbon footprint, & prevents parking challenges for our hosts. When you register, let us know your cell # and home address to help us facilitate carpooling and ride-sharing.
