20. New Member Orientation Answering your questions Do we have social events anytime just for fun? What if I sign up for something but then can’t do it? If I need to get back to the office, is it OK to just leave the meeting? Explain the meal reservation thing. I’m not sure about what’s going on at the sign in table – the clipboards. the hours thing, the badge… Isn’t putting money in that “can thing” sort of like a lottery? Is that legal? I don’t believe in gambling.
