Nice post Younger!
You seem to have a firm grip on the subject. The cause/effect of poor or inconsistent communications and the clubs opportunity for growth.

One positive thing I can say about the club is: members are given many opportunities to participate
but
fail to recognize that deadlines are the most critical part of the process, there is no half credit for missing the deadline.

I would like to suggest (as a club member) a general meeting is called for sometime in late June early July. This meeting would be a winter pre-planner. I mean ideas would be floated/discussed and then vetted for consideration at the winter meeting.

Action: If club member has an interest with any club issues they should submit a two or three paragraph note for the Summer meeting's agenda. Then the board can round up all the ideas sort them by perceived need and allot time accordingly for there discussion.

Problem: Suggestions and attendance are both critical!

Want to know why things are the way they are?

It's because by default/member apathy the same 4-8 members are the only ones participating throughout the process.
