Standing Rules amendment 3. Amendments to the Bylaws and Standing Rules.

At a special Board meeting the Board will carefully consider the proposed changes to the amendments. An edited version will be created and given to the Secretary who will circulate the amendments to all Association members. The members will be asked to submit their comments within 5 days receipt of the circulation. A final decision will be announced at the regular Board meeting.

The Board of Directors may, at its discretion, waive or require the admission/dinner fee for any paid event for any volunteer, resident or person.
