We have formal meetings every week except the last Tuesday of the month. We have ritual at every one except that one as well, which I have found to be uncommon. We run the meeting like a meeting, and have attendance taken at each one. We charge $25 for missing a meeting, and $75 for missing a ritual event. We also have Petals and Thorns, but we do it different. We go around the room at the end of each meeting and have each brother speak his mind. Thank people for doing a good job, or tell people off that need to be told off. It works very well. I have also seen this called Pass the Gavel. According to nationals, we have done a very good job running our meetings. We do not put up with a bunch of BS. If people are being very disruptive, we kick their asses out.
Good luck,
