********NOTE:* This is the *correct* Rodney e-mail I wanted to attach my
comments to, as Rod asked. KEEP this one and delete the other 2 e-mails I
sent - to stay organized...****** apologies for any confusion...
Hi, WECAB
I have a few items for consideration that will clarify or complete a
sentence/section. These are items **1* and **8*.
There are also a handful of powder and puff (p & p) items that can be
incorporated when this doc is next typed (I missed a few...). I will
include everything here, in order. Disregard the p & p items (these will
be for the next person typing the doc...).
**1*. III. C. Membership in Good Standing
Add after the last sentence, "The rights and privileges of membership can
be exercised as long as the member is in good standing."
The addition of this language makes it perfectly clear, and NOT a "given".
With this addition clearly stated, it does not have to be repeated
throughout the rest of the doc. There is one place when this was repeated
(VI. B. 1. Voting), and Rodney and I thoroughly discussed it and thought
that for emphasis, the repetition at this place was warranted.
2. IV. B. 1.
Delete (2/3). This is to be consistent with the rest of the doc - *NOT* using
the spelled out number *and* the
numerals.
2a. VI. A. 1.
"General Considerations" should be in *bold*
3. VI. A. 1. g.
line 2 remove the "," after *removal*
line 3 after *by *remove "a"
last line Officer's *should* be Office's
4. VI. A. 2. k. (1) line 1
after "...officer which..." delete *have*
5. VI. A. 2. a. 7.
*Should be* "...authorized to sign..."
6. VI. A. 2. b.
= 1. delete "of Directors" - to be consistent
= 2. line 2 place a comma after *powers*
7. VI. A. 2. d. 4. line 2
Pres. *should be* President
**8*. VI. B. 1. b.
(1) After* "friends"* add " , and the community"
The intent is to be inclusive of the entire community, not just WECA members
(3)
= line 2 remove "agencies,"
= line 4 add "WECA" before *Facebook*
= line 5 add "internal" after *various*
(4) *UN*-bold this
(5) *UN*-bold this
line 3 add a comma after *Park*
(6) *UN*-bold this
line 1 add after *money* "...and requests for goods and services..."
This is because we solicit things other than money.
9. VII. B. 3.
add at the end of the item "...of a simple majority." because to be clear,
we need to state what a carrying vote is.
10. VIII. B.
line 1 remove the period after "to"
11. IX. B.
line 1 remove "...as provided..."
line 2 after "...next regular..." for clarity, add *membership*
Thanks!

Good evening Board.
Attached, please find another draft of the Bylaws. A little bit of
formatting is required, but I wanted to get this out to you tonight
anyway. Formatting will be completed only after all content is
completed and agreed upon.
Barbara, would you please add some of your thoughts about the Bylaws
to this email thread to aid in the discussion?
Two things I wanted to point out is the change to the title for
Denise, Mrs. Scott and Barbara. Instead of just Board Member, the
title is Advisor. Doing so cleaned up some of the wording in the
document, and there is less ambiguity than if the individual was
called Director.
I changed the Honorary member description, to be able to partake in
all WECA events and activities. Still says no vote.
We will focus on the glaringly wrong things now, and things that
anyone just does not agree with.
Please give it a read over the next couple days and let me know how it is.
Thanks.
Rodney
