Whoa, thanks everyone. I had no idea that it was so different in different areas. I think here they must only give out chips at what they call "chip meetings" but I have no idea. I just know that I see those on the schedule.
I always thought the structure of meetings was always pretty much the same and they could be different because of the people who came and therefore gave them content. Now I realize that meetings can vary in many ways. I definitely need to go to some more meetings. Also I didn't really there were cakes. I have yet to go to any meeting with food. So sad....I want cake. 50 years....that is amazing!
