Each Monthly meeting includes a social time, a business meeting, dinner, the presentation and discussion. We begin at 5:30 pm and generally like to conclude by 8:00 pm. While it would be difficult to rigorously enforce timing, and while we wouldn't want to stiffle engaged participation in any of the parts of the evening, here is a suggested time structure.
5:30 pm - 6:00 pm | Members and guests arrive, order their meals and drinks and socialize with eachother. |
6:00 pm - 6:15 pm | Business meeting. |
