GUIDELINES
Smile, bring your creativity and tons of happiness to the events.
Be kind and respectful to everyone. We gather in the spirit of inclusion of all of people.
Many of us have day jobs so be on stellar behavior during public events. Basically, don’t do anything that would utterly embarrass us in the real world and don’t act like a jerk. All Krewe members must conduct Krewe affairs in such a way that there is no opportunity for unfavorable reflections upon the Krewe, either expressed or implied.
Krewe members may act as spokespersons for the Krewe and then only in the best interest of the organization with positivity, good ethical standards and common sense.
The Krewe will be limited to 30 members. Members must be 21 years of age or older.
We encourage Mystic Krewe of Oracles members to also become members of Asheville Mardi Gras. Supporting Asheville Mardi Gras through memberships helps to keep this whole ball of fun rolling in Asheville. Membership information is located on Asheville Mardi Gras's website.
At this time, krewe annual dues are on a sliding scale of $25-$50. This helps contribute to the cost of signs, throws, banners, music, equipment and materials. Each member will be given throws to hand out on parade day.
Failure to maintain reasonable standards may be basis for termination of krewe membership.
