Tonight was the Shrine Past Master's monthly club meeting and while the numbers were down we had several good discussions about what could be done to improve attendance. One of our issues is that most of our members are super involved in other groups and have to make a decision on which meeting they are going to attend. One of the ideas I suggested was while cancelling meetings might seem like a solution when several can't attend maybe changing the time & location, possibly to dinner at a restaurant, is probably better than cancelling all together. Letting people "get out of the habit" of coming to meetings is a deadly idea for any group as it becomes almost impossible to "re-train' them to attend.
