 carried the motion. At the last meeting, the proposal was re-introduced<br>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<br>payment 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 year from the present July1-June 30, to a calendar based<br>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 all members in good standing would basically receive an<br>extra six months of membership for the dues they have already paid.<br>If the club votes against, or doesn't carry the 66.7% required, no changes will take place.<br><br>We'll verify the records, but I believe we have 47 current members, meaning we will need 32 positive votes to carry the motion.<br><br>To make your choice, please send an email to
 <<a ymailto="mailto:bylaw@louisianacontestclub.org" href="mailto:bylaw@louisianacontestclub.org">bylaw@louisianacontestclub.org</a>>. In the body of the email, please include,  "YES" for<br>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<br>meeting (Monroe, April 21), will be totaled and the result will be publicized.<br><br><br>Thanks and 73,<br>Mark, K5ER<br>President, LCC<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>LCC mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:LCC@louisianacontestclub.org" href="mailto:LCC@louisianacontestclub.org">LCC@louisianacontestclub.org</a><br>http://mail.louisianacontestclub.org/mailman/listinfo/lcc_louisianacontestcl<br><a target="_blank" href="http://ub.org">ub.org</a><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>LCC mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:LCC@louisianacontestclub.org"
