The following changes were proposed to the DCARC Constitution and By-Laws during the February meeting, which will be voted on during the regular March 10 meeting, pending any additions or modifications:

Constitution Article III, Sec. 4, adding: “Monthly recurring bills (such as electric bill, post office box fee, and club insurance costs) may be paid without prior notification, then reported at the next meeting.”

Constitution Article VI, changing: “[Regular annual dues of] $15.00 per member or $20.00 per family” to “$50.00 per member”

By-Laws Section 4 – Dues, changing: “[Regular annual dues of] $15.00 per member or $20.00 per family” to “$50.00 per member”

By-Laws Section 6 – Finances, adding: “Monthly recurring bills (such as electric bill, post office box fee, and club insurance costs) may be paid without prior notification, then reported at the next meeting.”

Notes:

The current $50.00 dues fee schedule has already been in place for a few years, but the current constitution and by-laws had not been officially updated.

The change for monthly recurring billing is to simplify the tasks for the treasurer, and (when possible) take advantage of discounts for automatic and/or on-time payment.

During this month’s DCARC meeting last Monday, the club celebrated with Paul in his recent achievement of passing of both the General and Extra exams. While we’re all eager to welcome him to the full spectrum of HF radio, the group was just as eager to partake in the cake!

Congrats again, Paul!
