That's one of the reasons why we try to plan these well in advance so that members can adjust their schedules accordingly. Of course we're not able to accomodate 150 members schedules. That's just the way it goes sometimes, but they all know it ahead of time.
But if we used that logic for social functions, in all fairness we'd have to apply it to everything. Major problems with meal plans come to mind. We charge all members for meals regardless of whether they eat at the house or not. We don't issue refunds if they don't eat.

And this is a very different situation that what Little E and I are talking about...our chapters are/were much smaller than that. And we didn't have a house with an institutional size dining room/kitchen.
