General Membership Meeting May 6th

A general membership meeting has been scheduled for May 6 at 1 pm in the Old Courthouse Theatre upstairs from the office.

The meeting is necessary to review and vote on several proposed amendments to the Bylaws of the organization. The Bylaws hadn't been fully updated for several years; this year's Policy and Legislation committee has managed to complete all the research for a full review and overhaul of the document.

Anyone can attend the meeting but only those with a supporting membership can vote. A list of the proposed changes has been mailed out to all voting members of the Folk Society. Additional copies can be had by request at the Folk Society office.

We know the prospect of spending a nice Sunday afternoon in the spring in a By-laws meeting may not be your first choice but it is important to the Folk Society that we get this done so hopefully you can set aside a couple of hours and join us. We'll try to make it as quick and painless as possible while still covering the business of the day.

Once we have the approved Bylaws in hand we'll post them on this website so you can read them.

Have a great day.
