We have another business matter to bring to the club. Last year, a  motion 
was brought forth to change the club year to coincide with the  calendar 
year. This would require a change in the By-Laws, which needs a  2/3 vote 
of 
the membership. The vote was held and all were in favor except  for one 
vote. Due to the limited number of votes received, we fell ONE  PERCENTAGE 
POINT under the required 66.7%. Yep, ONE additional vote in  favor would 
have carried the motion. At the last meeting, the proposal was  
re-introduced by motion and second, and is now being presented to the club  
for another vote. Many say it would be easier to keep up with dues payment  
by the year, rather than split between two years.

The proposal  is:
Should the LCC make appropriate changes in its By-Laws to move the club  
year from the present July1-June 30, to a calendar based year from January  
1 - December 30?

Implications:
If the club votes IN FAVOR of the  proposal, the changes would be made and 
all members in good standing would  basically receive an extra six months 
of 
membership for the dues they have  already paid.
If the club votes against, or doesn't carry the 66.7%  required, no changes 
will take place.

We'll verify the records, but  I believe we have 47 current members, 
meaning 
we will need 32 positive  votes to carry the motion.

To make your choice, please send an email to  
<bylaw at louisianacontestclub.org>. In the body of the email, please  
include,  "YES" for the change, or "NO" to remain the same. Please  cast 
your vote before mid April. These votes, along with the live vote at  the 
next meeting (Monroe, April 21), will be totaled and the result will  be 
publicized.


Thanks and 73,
Mark, K5ER
President,  LCC
