1) Always arrive on time. {This rule applies to all Shul services with absolutely zero exceptions.}
2) If after Mincho Gedolo, always pray Mincho before the date {even if have to do so biYechidus}, and don’t ever be so Frum to have to leave girl alone during date to run off to Mincho [even biYechidus].
Don’t ever assume there shall be time after date to pray Mincho.
