We (Southern NJ GSDC) meet on the third Friday of the month @8pm. We meet ten times a year and in July/August, we have our picnic (no dogs) and in December, we have our awards dinner/holiday party (also install new officers at this time). We used to meet at other member's houses, but now meet at a church hall that is centrally located for our members. We get it free as the pastor is also a member of our club!! Our monthly meetings are general membership meetings and if the board has anything that needs to be discussed, we generally do it before the meeting starts, away from the other members. If we have a speaker scheduled, our meeting starts at 7 and concludes promptly at 8 so that portion can begin.
