How do you get members to attend meetings? Easy..
Just post there will be free beer, and a discussion on raising dues...
If you are organizing an event, first develop a thick skin, prepare for obfuscation, excuses, family funerals, graduations, weddings, vacations,and some handling of the truth in a reckless manner....If you have a membership of 80, expect 10 to volunteer, and five to show up....Do not misinterprit this as a cynical answer to a sincere question, but the result of disappointing experience.. Hopefully, your endeavor will be successful, and a rewarding experience....
