All members of the chapter must be or become members of the international association. Some chapters charge for their meetings. You can also have breakfast meetings. Most chapters have a monthly meeting. Although recommended, it is not required.
Some chapters have large quarterly meetings, like mini-conferences.
Usually if snacks or food are available to members and guests, you can arrange for a meeting place that allows food and bevreages to be consumed. If you do not plan to have meals available, you could meet at a public building. Some city, state, provincial, and federal agencies allow meetings to be held in their buildings. You can try schools or public libraries. Usually there is no meal service in these facilities however.
