First Coin Club Meeting

I went through the same thing you experienced. The first club I joined was purely an auction. They dedicate the first 15-30 minutes of the meeting to the club including a "show and tell" and dealing with account balance and meeting minute type stuff. I was pretty disappointed. The worst part is that it's in a concrete community building. Everything said echoes and if more than one person talks it becomes chaos.

However, the second club I joined has a monthly educational presentation. The wives send in baked goods. The group is much more laid back. They also have an auction at the end but it's much more enjoyable due to the atmosphere of the club.
