In many years in various kinds of extra curricular groups, late Sunday
afternoon is the best time for everyone to have a meeting -- except in Dec
and Aug when no one wants to meet.

I would ask why you are having meetings if no one wants to come. The issues
may not be important enough to have a large meeting. Lowering the quorum is
perhaps not the right question -- or solution. Or everyone has pretty much
accepted that the issues will be resolved correctly without them. Perhaps
these are really issues the Board can resolve.
