At the initial meeting they had a hard time pronouncing words and understanding the concepts of Gud Asik, and Mefulash, but they will try whatever it takes.

New Takkanos proposed for Parlor Meetings
Askanim are floating the idea of new Takanos for Parlor meetings and other fundraising events requiring Mosdos to have a change in the menu. Its very not bakovodig to schlep people to a event and not serve them properly. Sponge cake, Seltzer and cookies has long fallen by the wayside. There should be a minimum requirement for: 3-4 hot dishes, preferebly a 7 course meal (not in the 9 days) Sushi rolled on the spot, Wine tasting and live music is a must. Optional choice of cigar rolling or a Hookka bar. To enforce the new rules the Rabbonim and Roshei Yeshiva will not attend unless these new guidelines are strictly enforced.

Someone came up with the idea instead of going to the meetings on their time to see the puppets, why not just yell at the life size figures of the politicians on our own time. You wont get cut off and can talk for more than 5 minutes.
