New Business

4.4 If, due to a public health emergency as declared by the local, state, or federal government, the officers unanimously deem it potentially unsafe for members to gather in person for a meeting, the meeting may be conducted remotely via telephone, amateur radio, postal mail, Internet-based videoconference, or any combination of these or other methods. The method(s) shall be chosen by unanimous agreement of the officers and should allow for the broadest possible level of participation by all members, including those who lack Internet service. The meeting agenda and the method(s) for holding the meeting remotely must be fully described in a notice to all members at least five days prior to the meeting. Such notice is deemed sufficient if it is timely posted on the Club's website or sent via e-mail to each member at the e-mail address for that member maintained on the Club's roster.
The motion was adopted.
