What are Penalties?

I will post a document soon with more details about penalties. For now, all you need to keep in mind is that penalties exist to maintain the integrity of our organization. Baby Belles rarely find themselves with penalties. Please do not be afraid! I just have to tell everyone about penalties now so you can be aware of them.

Penalties are given in the following situations:

  • You do not inform Anastasia through the appropriate form if you have to miss a GM.

  • Showing up late to an event (more than 10 minutes).

  • Not attending an all-org event without an excused absence.

  • Dropping out of an event after the sign-up deadline without finding a replacement (unless you are experiencing an extenuating circumstance (at the discretion of board)).

  • Not completing quarterly credit requirements.

Penalties reset each quarter EXCEPT for unresolvable penalties.

All penalties given are resolvable EXCEPT for penalties given for missing/ showing up late to an all-org event.

Penalties can be resolved by completing an extra CO event within 4 weeks of notification of your penalty.

Accumulation of 3 penalties may result in dismissal from Belles.

Community Outreach

Check the agenda for upcoming events!

Baby Belles: more on outreach trainings coming soon!!

Hello lovely Baby Belles!! Welcome welcome welcome. You are all here for your own unique loveliness and talents, but one thing binding you all together is your amazing dedication to service in your respective communities. We hope you all are excited to get involved; we’re so happy to get to know you while serving the LA/UCLA community :) So, let’s get started! Plz do the following to get yourself set up for the quarter. 

  • Once in Slack, make sure to join the Community Outreach channel (as well as all other channels) and turn on notifications; we will often send updates/reminders on events here

  • Make an L.A. Works account at this link. We find a lot of opportunities through this (and you can look yourself and go to any you like that may not be on the agenda!)

  • Take a gander at the service offerings listed on the agenda this week! We typically post events for the next 2-3 weeks; take note of some events you’re interested in and compare them to your availability (gcal grind); please do not try to get all your service in Week 9; that’s a headache for us and you!!

    • That said, both of us are here to help you in any way possible. Please please please communicate with us early if you think you’re going to have trouble fulfilling your credits; we’ll work together to figure it out! (Find our contact info on the agenda <3)

  • How to sign up for events! Click on that blue community outreach button, on the main member page; that will take you to SignUp Genius. Some events require you to sign up on an external website as well; always check the agenda for this info
