Division and Area Council Meetings - have food and drink so that people will attend the meeting

The purpose of the Area Council Meeting is for the Presidents and Vice-Presidents of Education (and other club members) of the clubs in the Area to get together to meet. The Area Governor might present "educational" type programs for the edification of the clubs - ideally, these educational programs would aid the club officers in attendance to better serve their club members. The Area Governor could also enroll people for the Area Speech Contest.

It always helps attendance if pizza and soda, or other refreshment, are served - people seem to like food and drink and are more likely to attend.

Likewise, the Division Council would involve the Area Governors meeting with the Division Governor. They would meet for "educational" sessions that would educate the Area Governors in better assisting the clubs so that they can serve their members even better. There might even be planning and strategizing on how the clubs in the various Areas might better serve their members and thus become Distinguished.

As the Clubs become Distinguished, the Area becomes Distinguished. As the Areas become Distinguished, the Division becomes Distinguished.

Of course, as the Divisions become Distinguished, the District becomes Distinguished.

It all comes from serving the needs of the Toastmaster Club Members.
