Welcome back, T, and it is fun to read your funny account of your trip and workshop. We've missed you. And David, my love, it is great to see your posting as well. Maybe I'm missing stuff by not being on "Chat" and this probably should be there. No...it shouldn't...
All IOLI members need to download the proposed revision of IOLI Bylaws at www.internationaloldlacers.org and read them. The Bylaws Committee has worked diligently to bring us a document that will determine how our organization is structured, defines the rights and authorities of all the members, and determines how those rights and authorities can be exercised. Sharon Broughton, Chairman with Marion Jones and Bette Manfre have done an excellent job and I'm sure it took lots of patience, hard work, and deep thought. We are very grateful. The Convention Guidelines Committee, led by VP Louise Colgan with Debby Jenny, Shirley Stone, and President JoAnn Eurell, has developed a Convention Manual. This Manual will assure our having future Conventions that will conform to an acceptable standard and under the ultimate control of our IOLI leaders. We elect these leaders, support them. You will be voting on the acceptance of the revised bylaws at the Convention in Harrisburg. Remember, if you do not read and understand them, you only have yourself to blame for chaos. I have read this document and agree with every Article and Section of it. It should pass without dissent. If anyone feels the need to "tweak" something during the discussion before the vote, don't "tweak" less you destroy the document.
