>>If the club votes IN FAVOR of the 
  proposal, the changes would be made and

  basically receive an extra six months of

  already paid.
>>If the club votes against, or doesn't carry the 66.7% 
  required, no changes

>>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

>>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

  be 
>>publicized.
