Ratification of By-laws
John Causland with By-Law Star
At the September 2002 meeting, a committee was formed to create new by-laws for the club. After a few months of effort, draft by-laws were created. At this meeting, the club approved these by-laws with a unanimous vote. Kathy Hillig (not shown) gave each committee member a “star” in recognition of their hard work. John Causland shows off his star.
Elections
D. C. counting ballots
The next order of business was the annual elections. The club decided to accept the candidates for Newsletter Editor and Webmaster as there was only one candidate for each of these two positions. Club members wrote their choices for the other positions on paper ballots. D. C. Moons and Kurt Hillig counted the votes. D. C. is shown with one of the ballots. On the blackboard, the count was displayed. No votes were recorded for “News Liar” (aka Newsletter Editor) and “Spider” (aka Webmaster) as the club had already accepted the candidates for these positions.
