Charles,

I posted a message on the CLUB BB (link below) back on Date: 1/29/2001 2:32 a.m.

AND it did not get ONE reply!

Charles, the AMENDMENT was sent to the President in correct form, and according to the rules, so the amendment cannot be just up and terminated.

HOWEVER, this does NOT make the Amendment DEAD. Since there is still plenty of time before the next convention that a SPECIAL MAILING of a NEW ballot in corrected form should be sent to ALL members.

This is the ONLY alternative. The amendment once proposed by a member MUST be followed through under our constitution an not killed or terminated by anyone NOT EVEN the club officers.

ARTICLE SIX: ALTERATIONS OR AMENDMENTS

Section 1

This Constitution may be altered or amended. Alterations or amendments shall be presented in writing to the President who shall cause written notification to be provided to all members. Ballots containing any proposed alteration or amendment of this Constitution shall be mailed to each member at least 30 days prior to an election, and shall specify the procedure for casting ballots in advance of the annual meeting. A two-thirds majority of those voting shall be required to amend.
---------------------
Charles, it is FUNNY now that after all of the ranting and raving everyone has done regarding this amendment(on both sides) that you ask the President to "invalidate" the proposed amendment which HE CANNOT DO! The BOD can invalidate the BALLOT but MUST issue a corrected BALLOT to be voted upon BEFORE the convention.
