Changes to Rochester Woodcarvers Constitution and Bylaws
March 31, 2010 - The Rochester Woodcarvers club officers have been working on a change to the club's Constitution and Bylaws to clarify the period of club membership and how dues are to be paid for that membership. Please address any questions, concerns, comments, or approval to our club officers.

Read the proposal, think about the impact of the changes, and bring any concerns/alternatives to the club meeting on April 17. If we're ready, we will vote to approve these changes.
