DCN Meeting Rules

 
Attendance:
It is recommended that you attend as many DCN meetings as possible. When you miss a meeting please make sure you check with your leader to see what you missed the previous week(s). This is a fee based group so we can cover our expenses; therefore weekly fees are due for missed meetings. Absences are permitted with advance notice given to your leader. If an emergency arises that might prevent your attending a meeting, you must call your Leader in advance.

Vacations & Holidays:
if you are going on vacation please let your leader know at least two weeks in advance. While on vacation, use your daily calorie and modification sheet, weigh yourself daily and record your weight on your sheet.

If a holiday falls on a meeting day, you will not have a meeting that day & no fee will be required to be paid. Your next official weigh in day will be the on the following week. If the holiday falls out on the last meeting day of the month, your weigh in on the following week will count as your official weight for the previous month. You must watch what you eat carefully so you do not blow the month from the holiday. Please note that your monthly goals are not big and it should be easy for you to hit your goal for the month.

Record Keeping:
You must complete and turn in all records required by the program when such records are due.

Jobs:
As a condition for being accepted into the DCN program, all new members agree that when they are successful they will use what they have learned to help others. Members of the DCN weight loss program will be given various jobs to help your fellow members. Jobs are easy and they actually help you stick to your program. Jobs include such things like being a co-leader, weight recorder and record keeper.

Hardship:
We understand that from time to time outside forces beyond your control will affect your program. Please advise your leader of any problems you might be having.
