Just an idea but this is what the club officers did back home.
1). The officers would take their turn in hosting the club. Since there were 5 officers, they each took turns to host the meetings for the month.
2). They would go down in rank per say as to who hosts first, second and so on. President first (January), then VP, Treasurer, and so on. One year, they drew random numbers to see who hosts the first meeting in January.
3) The remainder of the months, 7, they would choose a coffee house, another club members home (if they volunteered), a restaurant, park, and so on. These places would be decided a month in advance during the meeting.
4) For the month of December. They would either hold the meeting at the very beginning of the month or not have it at all since of course, it is the most wonderful time of the yeeeaaaar!
I don't know if the vast majority of the officers for STARS are in Cruces. Maybe it should be spread evenly to where one month it is here in Cruces and the following month to be in EP. Say, maybe at the LFS stores for the first 2 meetings in EP?
Again, these are ideas that I am just throwing out there.
Thanks!
