Thank you, Jeff, for keeping the focus where it belongs. After all that has happened over the past few months, I too believe that Lew and the Board will handle both issues appropriately. Jeanne Carlisle *Jeff Pyle wrote:* *I believe the Board hired outside counsel after the January meeting to advise them on what they were or weren't allowed to do and that conclusion was that our club had the right to Not vote anyone into membership as long as we did not violate any constitutional rights or federal discrimination laws. i.e. Race, Sex, Religion, National origin etc. I don't believe there is or should be any fear of consequence by our Board when they vote on Hunte's membership this coming weekend. As far as the delegate position, I am not necessarily opposed to Fred's idea. but wouldn't a change like that need a by-laws or club constitutional ammendment? Not so easy to do, right? If we have a great President and Board, then why change. They will do what is right on both issues, especially now that they are all completely informed.
