Regardless of when it happened, one would think that such a change in procedure should have had a motion made, seconded and passed in the minutes - I've looked and looked. I may have missed it, but I can't seem to find this. Also, the Policy and Procedures right up until 2003 and now even in the Current ones, indicate that 2 endorsers is a MUST. Further, a LOT of breed Parent Clubs may have credit card application forms - but the form must be mailed in, completely filled out (which includes endorsements). The Pomeranian Club of America - Requires that your endorsers have known you personally for a minimum of 2 years and that they must endorse you with a written essay type endorsement. Anyway, the long and short of it for this particular problem is that, the Board needs to walk a tightrope and hopefully do nothing that puts the club in jeopardy for suit, or loss of membership. Perhaps one or more of the Board members may proffer up a resolution for changing the bylaws and get that underway.
