I am of the opinon that having a consistant time and place once a month would do wonders to grow the club. For example, I know without having to check with anyone that the San Francisco Aquarium Society meetings are the first friday of the month at 7pm at the same location every month. this way you can plan for it. My hope is that we can get to that point. I check their web site to see what the topic is but I know the time and the place is always the same. It is that easy.
