Bert stated that this discussion was in regards to the dates in the By-Laws with regards to our current election and the balloting of the current amendment. Clearly our By-Laws state that the election date is August 1^st. Jocelyn stated that was a typographic error. She went back to Danny Jabber’s original documents. It has been August 30^th since draft two. Bert stated that our by-laws state that any amendment must be printed in the issue before within the first ten pages. Bert believes that we did not do that as well. John stated that we were only off by a day. Bert asked if the minutes were printed in the first ten pages. Georgette stated that usually the minutes were printed in the first ten pages of the Barker. Bert wanted this verified.
