We have another business matter to bring to the club. Last year, a
motion <BR>was brought forth to change the club year to coincide with the
calendar <BR>year. This would require a change in the By-Laws, which needs a
2/3 vote of <BR>the membership. The vote was held and all were in favor except
for one <BR>vote. Due to the limited number of votes received, we fell ONE
PERCENTAGE <BR>POINT under the required 66.7%. Yep, ONE additional vote in
favor would <BR>have carried the motion. At the last meeting, the proposal was
<BR>re-introduced by motion and second, and is now being presented to the club
<BR>for another vote. Many say it would be easier to keep up with dues payment
<BR>by the year, rather than split between two years.<BR><BR>The proposal
is:<BR>Should the LCC make appropriate changes in its By-Laws to move the club
<BR>year from the present July1-June 30, to a calendar based year from January
<BR>1 - December 30?<BR><BR>Implications:<BR>If the club votes IN FAVOR of the
proposal, the changes would be made and <BR>all members in good standing would
basically receive an extra six months of <BR>membership for the dues they have
already paid.<BR>If the club votes against, or doesn't carry the 66.7%
required, no changes <BR>will take place.<BR><BR>We'll verify the records, but
I believe we have 47 current members, meaning <BR>we will need 32 positive
votes to carry the motion.<BR><BR>To make your choice, please send an email to
<BR><bylaw@louisianacontestclub.org>. In the body of the email, please
<BR>include, "YES" for the change, or "NO" to remain the same. Please
cast <BR>your vote before mid April. These votes, along with the live vote at
the <BR>next meeting (Monroe, April 21), will be totaled and the result will
be <BR>publicized.<BR><BR><BR>Thanks and 73,<BR>Mark, K5ER<BR>President,
LCC<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>LCC mailing
