I would put a time frame on the meeting and try to stick to that. If the meeting is from 6 - 8 pm, be sure to end as close to 8 as possible.
In the first meeting, you could have just a general agenda - any subsequent meetings, you could have a more structured approach.
I would start by thanking everyone for attending and let everyone know how much you appreciate their time and effort to get to know one another.
Go around the room and have each person introduce themselves and give some general information, such as how long they have been a member of SFI, a little something about themselves and what their visions and goals are.
I would have a computer on hand to be able to log into SFI. This may stir up a Question & Answer session, which everyone can always benefit from.
You could have just a plain old 'brainstorming' session. You will be amazed at the different ideas and suggestions that come up.
If you plan to have these meetings on a regular basis, be sure that you - or someone - take notes and publish minutes or a summary of the meeting, back to everyone that was in attendance. This will help keep ideas fresh in your mind and help build thoughts for the next meeting.
Good luck!
