2. All Are Welcome. We welcome all community members. If you are interested in a game, but have not played before, please contact Alasa to be connected with someone who can show you the ropes.
3. Be Prompt. Please arrive early. All games start at the times listed. Those who arrive late will have to observe instead of play.
4. No Bullying, No Grudges and Be Kind. Please treat all players with kindness. If someone needs help, offer tips or assistance and please be patient. We’ve all been new at something one time or another!

Thanks for making VSC an inclusive community for all!
