The Code of Conduct for those who are involved with the Massapequa Giglio Association and their events are as follows:
Board Members:
- Respect for our Mission and tradition – We at the Massapequa Giglio Association take pride in bringing the Nolani tradition of the dancing of the Giglio in honor of St. Paulinus of Nola to America. We work in conjunction with our Nolani brothers in Nola, Italy to keep the tradition alive and correct. Respect for this is paramount for us to succeed. Respect for each other is key in making this work.
Sponsors:
- Respect for each other and each other’s businesses, the Feast, the Board, and our tradition. Any grievances or issues, please speak to the Executive Board to resolve the issue.
- Respect for all involved at the Feast and all other events that the Association is tied to or attending.
Lifters:
- Respect for our Executive Board and Team – Please remember that our Executive Board is a voting body who is there to ensure that things go smoothly, and tradition is followed to the letter. Any grievances or if you disagree with the way things are being done/handled, please feel free to speak to an Executive Board member and air your feelings. Speak and discuss rather than react to the situation.
- Respect for the following is to be adhered to:
- Respect for our Giglio, San Paulino, and others – Fighting, whether physically or verbally, will not be tolerated in and/or around the Giglio, Feast, and other Association events. Mutual respect for others and all who are attending and who are involved is necessary. Anyone caught fighting will be asked to leave and not return.
- Alcohol Consumption/Illegal Substances – Excess consumption of alcohol or the use of illegal substances will NOT be tolerated as it does not display the ethics, standards, and representation that we want to portray to all attending our events. Also, safety for all, especially lifters, is in jeopardy when excessive alcohol or illegal substances are consumed. If caught under the influence of either excessive alcohol or illegal substances, you will be asked to leave and not return.
General:
Harassment of any kind to ANYONE, whether by or to the Executive Board or its Members, Sponsors, Lifters, or Spectators will NOT be tolerated. That person will be asked to leave immediately and not return.
If anyone does not follow the above Code of Conduct, please be advised that you are subject to permanent removal from the Association/Feast/Events that are being held based on a vote conducted by the Executive Board.
Respectfully,
The Massapequa Giglio Association Executive Board
