We have a new set of Bylaws

We had a General Membership meeting on Sunday; despite the fact that the sun was shining and that it was an absolutely beautiful afternoon in May, a number of dedicated souls came to a Folk Society meeting to talk about Bylaws.

This is the first time in a decade that the Bylaws have had such a comprehensive review and updating. With a few supplementary amendments, the proposed Bylaws were passed by the members assembled and we now have a shiny new set of Bylaws. They are currently in the process of transcription and will soon be available for distribution.

Although admittedly not everyone agrees that Bylaws are a fascinating topic, it is an important step for the organization. Thanks to all of the committees that have worked on this and to all of the members who made it happen.
