Guardian Groundrules
Once year, Guardian renews our ground rules for how we agree to interact with each other. This detailed explanation outlines our expectations so that new and returning members alike feel comfortable and welcome at our events and discussions. The Ground rules are briefly reviewed before each discussion.

Guardian Updates
You can also email Charles Janski to be added to our Guardian Update email list. Being on the email list guarantees you find out about up-coming socials, special events, and a full description of the weekly topic of discussion. Your contact information is kept strictly confidential and is never given to anyone else.

Discussion Calendar
Guardian Discussion Nights are held in three parts so that we delve deep into a topic instead of hitting everything superficially. Members are polled regularly to determine what topics we discuss. Topics are subject to change depending on the group's interests, guest speaker availability, etc.
