• Common sense, courtesy, and respect should prevail at all times. Please put things away, clean up messes, fix things that get broken or find someone who can. Your mother doesn’t work here, so please do your part to keep the space running and feel free to ask for help!
• KOIpound tools and materials are for pound space use only. Please don’t take them for home improvement or outside purposes.
