6-a. DiscussionJRecommendation -- Bylaws Change -- Meeting Times
It was noted, the change to the by-laws would remove reference to the meeting time to
allow changes to the meeting time without having to amend the by-laws. Concern was
expressed, changing the meeting time to 4:30 may prevent members who work to 5:00
p.m. to attend meetings. A suggestion was made to change the meeting time to 4:30
p.m. during the winter months and change back to 7:00 p.m. during the
spring/summer months.
