It is the morning of the council meeting. You are summoned secretly, to ensure that nobody else follows. When you get there, you see that some people are already there. A few men (two of which are Aragorn and Boromir), a few Elves (one being Legolas), a couple Erebor Dwarves (Gimli and Glóin), two Hobbits (Frodo and Bilbo), and Gandalf. You also see Elrond. When you are all seated, he speaks.

"Strangers feom distant lands, friends of old, you have been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle-earth stands upon the brink of destruction; none can escape it. You will unite or you will fall. Each race is bound to this fate, this one doom. Bring forth the ring, Frodo."

At that moment, the younger Hobbit walks up to the the center of the meeting area, and places the ring on the table.

(The reason I had the Fellowship characters attend the meeting is because even though they won't be on the Fellowship, when they accepted the invite they never intended on making the Fellowship, anyway, so it still makes some sense for them to be there.)
