	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
