Doug,
I think your issue is a common one among members with small children. it's not unusal to see some members bring one of their children to breakfast. Spouses are welcome also. Don't know if that would work for you?
I will make sure Bud Syme , our VP for the western area, who leads the monthly breakfast is aware of your desire to be more involved. Perhaps Bud can determine the feasability/flexibility for an alternate or additional breakfast meeting.
Have you tried a jewelry bribe yet?
