One good place to start would be to define the group's aspirations and objectives and so forth. Then see how many folks "sign up". Ask those who actually attend meetings how they would like to see things structured and financed. Many clubs offer wonderful experiences. Other clubs seem bogged down with endless debates. But you can all agree on the goals, that is a big step forward. Good luck...Ed L.
