The Russellian Society will be having a General Meeting at 5:45pm on Thursday
18th September 2008; Holme Building common room
During this GM we will be voting on three constitutional changes as well as
electing members to the positions of:
1. Event Manager (the second of two such positions)
2. First Year Representative
Nominations (to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) for these positions begin as of 10th
September 2008 and close upon the opening of the meeting. All executive
members *must *have an Access card.
The constitutional changes are as follows:
*1. Membership fee will be changed to $5.00, from $0.00*
*2. The addition of a non-profit clause for tax purposes, under Property and
Finances:
11.4 "The assets and income of the Society shall be applied solely in the
furtherance of its above-mentioned aims and activities and no portion shall be
distributed directly or indirectly to the members of the Society except as bona
fide compensation for services rendered or expenses incurred on behalf of the
Society. That is, the Society will be run on a non-profit basis in terms of tax
purposes."
3. And also the modification of our aims (for tax purposes we need to be a
cultural organisation and as such must be shown in the constitution), through
the addition of 2.1.iii:
"2.1 The aims of the Society shall be to:
i) Promote issues broadly related to philosophy.
ii) Engage the university community in philosophical discussion.
iii) Contribute to the cultural life of the community"
