Subject: [LCC] Club year / bylaws

	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
