words, you are only allowed to miss 2 meetings. A minimum of 5 service points are required. Attendance at 3 planned socials.Inactive Membership Inactive membership is for those that cannot attend weekly

meetings due to time conflicts with class or work. Thus, inactive membership allows you to be exempt from the Monday night meetings.
