Interestingly enough, the general meetings of Michel-Natal's
clubs and organizations served a unique purpose in and of
themselves. The meetings served as weekly social gatherings of
club members that gave citizens a specific reason to go out on
a weeknight to socialize.
Of course, important business would be discussed at the
meetings, but that never stopped members from getting
together after the meeting to enjoy each other's company
at one of the many "establishments" the twin communities
had to offer.
The Royal
Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes, for example, met in the
basement of the Michel Hotel, and after each meeting they
would naturally go up stairs for a few "cold ones."
