Monthly meetings are usually held in members' homes. Members draw at the December meeting to determine the hosts for the next year's meetings. Occasionally children are brought to the meetings and families included one or two times a year. When the treasury is low, it is augmented by a small fee assessed each member. Dues are spent on cards, flowers, or plants for members who are sick or have new babies, or memorials for deceased members.
Membership is held at twenty-four, based on two birthdays in each month of the year.
New members are suggested, voted on, and invited by the current membership to replace those who have died, moved away, or dropped membership. Officers include the president, who appoints a flower committee, vice president, and secretary-treasurer.
