Changes to the Constitution and Bi-laws

    Per request from the Club’s Treasurer to have a more accurate and current 

    report.

    Club Officers are requesting changes to Club Constitution as follows,

 

    Change the Constitution to read.  The monthly business meeting will fall on the first 

    Monday of the month instead of the third Monday.  Unless that Monday is a Holiday,

    Then it will be on the following Monday of that month. 

    Change to Bi-Law Article 4.  When newly elected Club Officers assume duties.

    Instead of instantly,  Move to the next Business Meeting.  This gives a learning 

    period.

    Change the vote from March to December.  This is so the newly elected officers take  

    over their duties in January of the New Year.

 

Some discussion why it is thought these changes will be beneficial to our Club.
