Thanks for the posts. As you might expect, it's next to impossible to find a meeting time that works for everyone. I will bring up the question about alternative meeting dates at the next steering committee meeting.
I think a special interest group for weekend activities is a great idea. All it would take to get started would be for a club member to offer to head up the group and to start arranging some appropriate activities.
Regarding the question about meeting notices on the club website - those are posted in the form of the club newsletter. The newsletter is typically published around the second weekend of the month, and then posted on the website within a day or two.

Hi Dan...welcome to the valley. Send me an email and I'll have our club's membership chairman contact you.
There is an excellent audio equipment repair business in the south valley called The Audio Doctor. I have been very satisfied with the work he has done on several pieces of my gear. You can find his website by searching for audio doctor phoenix. If you remind me, I will send you his phone number via email.
