[LCC] Club year / bylaws

[Patrick Soileau ND5C]

Don,

Thanks for pointing that out!

I didn't bother to read the instructions, but merely
did the "hop on the bandwagon" thing instead.

Now, my message is correctly addressed.  :)

YES, to changing the club year proposal.

>    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

>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.
