--  TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be sure to express our heartfelt appreciation
to the people, and their family members, 
who host our SGI meetings and activities
in their homes!
While holding meetings in such places,
let's exercise the utmost consideration 
for our hosts' neighbours, and never forget our manners
particularly when parking bicycles or cars, 
and let's also keep our voices down when walking 
on the nearby streets.
Lastly, let's all be careful about the time 
when the meeting is supposed to finish!
