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,
