Parking

  • Monitor the main carpark before the meeting starts; watch new visitors and tactfully determine why they are there
  • Tell the attendants when the lot is full so the side gate can be opened
  • No parking in unmarked areas

  • Help the entrance attendant open the side gate and park brothers and sisters

Security Walk

  • Three walks: first after the gate is locked 10 min after start, second at the brother's discretion, third just before the meeting ends
  • Use torches at night
  • Check for disturbances, leaks, and damage

Emergency Mans an assigned single door near the stage, directs the audience out that exit, and sweeps rooms with the Main Auditorium Attendant to confirm everyone has left.
