Respect personal space of the group and others.\n\nAlw ays ask before encroaching on other's space\, especially with people new t o you and the group. If asked to stop or give space\, respect this. Failur e to do so will result in being asked to leave and potentially being barre d from future events.\n\n2. Absolutely no racism\, misogyny\, ableism\, ho mophobia\, transphobia or other bigotry!\n\nThis shouldn't have to be said \, but bigotry will not be tolerated at any Grokio events.\n\n3. Respect t he discretion of the group in public\n\nOftentimes\, gatherings are held i n public places (restaurants\, parks\, beaches\, bowling alleys\, etc.) an d there will be other people nearby. Be aware that loud voices travel—if y ou’re talking about sensitive or potentially embarrassing topics\, use you r inside voice. Similarly\, a public place is not appropriate for intimacy or sexualized touching. Even if the other person is comfortable with it\, respect that you’re with a group in a public place and hold off until you have more privacy. Additionally\, be mindful when taking photos/video at the event and allow for members to bow out or turn their heads if they do not wish to be recorded/photographed.\n\n4. Illegal drug/alcohol use is no t allowed\n\nThe use of drugs that are illegal in the local jurisdiction b efore or during a Grokio Community Gathering is strictly forbidden\, as is the consumption of alcohol by those under the legal age in the local juri sdiction.\n\n5. Guests from outside the community are only allowed with pr ior approval\n\nWe know that attending a GrommOff\, Feabie Meet or Ferzu E vent for the first time can be scary\, but bringing along a friend from ou tside the community for support can make others feel uncomfortable and for ce them to edit themselves the way they do in the real world (the goal of our gatherings is to let everyone stop editing!) If you absolutely must br ing a friend from outside the community and you are confident they will kn ow how to behave appropriately\, you must clear it with the organizer BEFO RE the event. Any portion of a gathering occurring in a bar or pub is exce pted from this rule. \n\n\nEvent details provided by Grommr.\nhttps://www. grommr.com/Event/AugustDcGrommoff2025 DTEND:20250809T190000 DTSTAMP:20260503T160059Z DTSTART:20250809T151500 LOCATION:Tysons\, Virginia\, United States SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:August DC Grommoff 2025 - Perch Putt UID:e97db172-6edf-41d9-9b1f-5df5f28e816d END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
