I disagree D.D. Pat is asking for clarification of our by-laws. That should be able to be clarified without question and no matter "which side" anyone is on.  I am hoping there are no longer two "sides" anyway. This division that occured over the past year or so is now blurred.   Many have come together thanks to Gail and hopes for a better future for our club. Also, it is insulting to insinuate that one who has defended Margy in the past is not observant and intelligent enough to judge these most recent actions independent of previous support.  I very much supported Margy through last year. Not because I thought she had the right to miss meetings or to sue the club, but because our leaders did not properly handle the situation of her issues. Procedure was not adhered to.  But that was then and this is now. I do hope that Margy and Gail & the Board are in communication and that we will all hear of good reason for Margy not to have attended the Board meeting. If not, then the Board must use appropriate means to find a solution to this current issue.  Jeff Pyle -----Original Message----- From: Cudjoegsd <cudjoegsd@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: BAERENTATZE312@xxxxxxx; Bokenkampgsd1@xxxxxxx; Kmgraphic2@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 11:42 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: info please Pat-I think clarification depends which side you are on. It is clear to ach person that wants to defend or condemn her actions.

Dues. Member's dues shall be payable in advance on or before the first day of January of each yearâ�¦ No member shall be entitled to vote on any Club business unless his/her dues have been paid for the current year. (which I'm guessing would preclude any voting of Board business) Also, under Section 5. Good Standing. A member in good standing is one whose dues are paid, (I'm also guessing that in order to be a Board member you must be a member in good standing). Just my interpretation of what I read in the by-laws. Can someone clairify? Thanks, Pat ************** Start the year off right.
