Babies and Children

We welcome infants and children who need to be with their mothers. However, even happy baby noises can be distracting to attendees.  So if your baby gets any noisier than quiet baby babbling, please plan to step outside of the room. You and your baby may return as soon as your baby is quieter. Please consider sitting at the tables near the rear exit so that you can take your child out if needed. Nothing said here today is as important as meeting your baby’s needs.
