By-Laws Presentation: Frank G. spoke on the changes and additions to By-laws which will be abbreviated here. Please see the complete proposals on our website. The membership will be voting on these at the December membership meeting. By-Laws Article 3 Section 4 describes who is entitled to purchase items in the store and states that members only may purchase items with the official logo on it. The proposed recommended wording states that members and non-members may purchase items in the store with the official logo on it, except for the official club polo shirt which only members may purchase or wear. Standing Rules Section 4 Events ADDING Section (f). There is no present wording. The proposed addition outlines the procedures to be followed for event planning. Standing Rules Section 4(g) proposes to add that the chairperson of an event must propose any charity donation at the time of approval by the Executive Board. Only board approved events shall raise fund and/or collect items for donations on behalf of LVCA. Standing Rules addition of Section 3 (d) is proposed to read that all charitable donations need to be approved by the Executive Board prior to any donations being made or suggested to the membership. Standing Rules Section 7(a) deals with the monies expended to the President for a set of personalized LVCA license plates. The proposal removes this section because custom LVCA plates are no longer available. Standing Rules Section 4 (c) discusses the NCCC waiver form signed by all participants and guests in all events. The proposed wording adds additional requirements to sanction events including that the event must be posted in the LVCA calendar. Code of Conduct II adding Section E to state that no pictorial or written information pertaining to the membership shall be posted to the club website while the event is in progress.
