The Special Camp Meeting was requested by Commander Skotleski via an
email sent to all Camp members on Wednesday, July 26, 2023, providing the
required two weeks' advance notice for special meetings. The purpose for
this meeting was for the sole purpose of a second reading and vote on the
proposed Ezra S. Griffin, Camp #8 By-Laws change, following a successful first
reading at the May Camp meeting. The proposed Camp By-Laws change was
attached to the meeting notice below:
The proposed change is as follows:
ARTICLE
XVI
-
AMENDMENTS
SECTION
1.
A simple
voting
majority
of
members
in
attendance
following
the
second
reading
shall
be
sufficient
to
make
amendments,
alterations,
or
deletions
a
part
of the
Bylaws.
This will now read:
A 2/3 vote of members in attendence following the second reading
shall be sufficient to make amendments, alterations, or deletions a part of the
By-Laws.
A quorum being present, the vote was taken and was unanimous in the
affirmative, the By-Laws change being adopted. Two brothers, Tim Chase and
Bob Shaffer, were unable to attend the special meeting but made known their
support for the By-Laws change; although their votes could not be counted due to
their absence, Commander Skotleski appreciated their participation in making
their voices heard.
Secretary Fischer will update the Camp By-Laws, obtains the Camp
Commander's signature, and forward the updated By-Laws to the Pennsylvani
Department Commander for review and signature.
This change brings our Camp By-Laws into line with Roberts' Rules
of Order, National and Pennsylvania Department best practices for amending
By-Laws.
With no futher business, the special Camp Meeting was closed by
Commander Skotleski.
**Next Camp Meeting will be held on Saturday, September 16th at
9:30am (NOTE NEW TIME) at the Marketplace at Steamtown.
Respectfully submitted,
William E. Fischer Jr., PCC
Secretary
