Proposal to Change the Legion Membership Meeting Time

At the February General Membership Meeting, a motion was made to amend the bylaws changing the meeting starting time from 7:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The motion was tabled until the March membership meeting to allow feedback from members that were not present at the February meeting. If approved the proposed implementation date would take place in September 2010. Please take time to consider this proposal and provide feedback to the Commander or any of the Executive committee members.
