Meetings and more meetings

This is the time of year when I am going to have meetings coming out of my… you know what. It’s planning time. We have to plan for the Monte Carlo night, Draft Nights, Field Days, Picture Day, Opening Day, BBA Day, take your child to work day, okay…I made up the last one. You get the idea. Tonight is our monthly meeting of the membership. We hold it at the local pub and restaurant called the Little Brown Jug. They are very good to us there and give us the back party room for our meetings. Meetings can be a lot more tolerable when you can eat a little and sip on a beer or two. Also I try to make sure the meetings move along quickly. Cover what we need to and keep it moving. One hour is my goal for the meeting time. Sometimes we go over, but not much. Although only the Board votes on issues, the meeting is open to the whole membership. If you want to know what is going on with the organization then come to the meeting, eat, sip on a drink and take in all that is happening. Although I keep the formal meeting to about an hour, many people stick around afterward. This offers new members a chance to network and meet others. If you haven’t been to a BBA meeting, keep an eye on our website for dates (they are usually on a Monday) and join us.
