What Are Individual Members or Members-at-Large?

Members-at-large want the benefits of the organization but cannot attend regular club meetings due to other committments (i.e. their work schedules may not coincide with local meeting times or there may not be a club in their area.)

Where and When do Clubs Meet?

Some clubs meet in members' homes while others meet in a public meeting place. Clubs usually meet once a month (8-12 times a year) at a time of day or evening most convenient for club members.
