Saturday, June 15, 2013 - 12:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Meeting Room at the Trinity Episcopal Church

Orange, CA 92865

Dear Chapter at the Park Member,

Included with [the mailing that was mailed to all members], you will find a copy of our revised Chapter By-Laws that your Board approved at their February 9, 2013 meeting.  Over the past year Bob Allmon, Vice President of Membership and myself have worked on the revision and updating of these by-laws.  We are now submitting them to you for your approval.

Please review the by-laws. I believe they are fairly self explanatory. Wording in red and crossed out are in the current by-laws and are being eliminated and either being dropped entirely or replaced with the wording in black bold print. Most of the changes were done to make the running of the Chapter a little easier and to eliminate some language that was either repeated in another section of the by-laws, to match changes we have already made within the Chapter regarding specific meeting dates and membership, or in some cases to correct items that contradicted themselves in two different sections.

At the June 15th meeting we will be voting on the revised by laws, which if approved would become effective for the Chapter at the Park immediately. If you are unable to attend the June 15th meeting an absentee ballot will be available for you to use.

If you have any questions or concerns that you would like to discuss prior to the June meeting, please feel free to contact me at dcritchey749@sbcglobal.net

With best regards,

Dennis Ritchey
President
Chapter at the Park
