how ridiculous! "we don't want to go to the trouble of covering our ceiling, so we are going to make damn sure that no one else can either!" however, as was said, think of all the time you'll now save, thanks to another invasive rule. maybe your chapter will be able to come up with something new that will be equally intimidating to the other chapters (and there will be a rule against that next year).

Yes, I'm sure you could do that. Also the gym or other similar amenities. There are too many women whose heads get turned by the houses in general, let alone seeing OMG ABC HAS A TANNING BED AND XYZ DOESN'T SO I NEED TO JOIN ABC.

It's the herpes of the craft world.

ETA: That'll teach me to not read the second page. I should have known lovespink would beat me.
