When are the general meetings?

on Lockheed-Martin's second "on-Friday" of the month. As a
recruitment incentive, a complimentary lunch is currently being
served at each general meeting. For a current schedule of meetings,

Why are a part of SETLA's funds being used for lunches and parties?
This is a legitimate expense for the purpose of recruitment. Once a
strong and active membership is built, we may begin charging for
lunches. SETLA is not a social club. Since we were officially formed in
2005, we have had only four social get togethers. The rest of our
activities have all been for the benefit of the community.

SETLA is not officially sponsored by Lockheed (e.g. LMLA), why join?
Lockheed upper management is extremely supportive of SETLA.
SETLA offers personal development and leadership training
opportunities to its members while benefiting the community at the
same time. Lockheed has already adopted some of the same
community programs that SETLA has been running for some time.
