Things still happen at meetings. Some of the contests, frag exchange, TOTQ and POTM have slowed. They've slowed from lack of involvement - you get out what you put in and some folks don't put in anything. Well, unless you count selling. I know the folks that have volunteered to head those things up have busted their *** to make it happen with little to no involvement from anyone else.
I know there has been talk about moving meetings around for other days. If they move to a Saturday then folks that work on those days don't get to go. Best option is splitting them up. Also, Sunday rental on most places like the Schertz Community Center are way cheaper on Sundays. It helps the money go further.
There are lots of things that you can do to help MAAST out. Items such as a weekly discussion on a topic, help for others that need it, ideas for new techniques on husbandry for the tanks we keep, assisting with a committee, are just a few.
