We met a similar amount last fall, and had less than 20% dropout during build season, and a larger percentage "step up" their commitment beyond the expected minimums.

Maybe you doing that alternate saturday is the key. We meet monday and friday for 2 1/2 hours, but come build season we meet every single day and the meetings go until we finish what we were doing that day, or until we get to a point were we can pick up where we left off the next day.
