..."the club membership should not have to vote for 'every little thing' that comes up."... but that statement was in regards to items that the Board voted on that didn't need membership approval as some were advocating.

However, what was published in this issue of the club magazine was one member's opinion. If that is what that individual member desires, then it MUST be submitted to the President as a proposed Constitutional ammendment, which I personally don't think has a snowball's chance of paasing.

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 sixty (60) days prior to the annual business meeting, and shall specify the procedure for casting ballots. A two‑thirds majority of those voting shall be required to amend.

The annual business meeting shall be held at the organization’s annual convention, if there is one, and if there is not an annual convention, then at such business meeting as may be called by the Board of Directors. Locating the notification and ballots in the organization’s magazine shall be deemed sufficient notice. It shall be the duty of the Charter, Regular or Life member to provide the notice and a copy of the ballot to any Associate Member associated with the Charter, Regular or Life member.
