Patch PTA Members,

 

In accordance with our Constitution, changes to our By-laws require 2/3 majority approval at a membership meeting.  The Constitution also requires that proposed changes be provided at least 30 days an advance.  This e-mail is to provide you advance notice that at the next membership meeting (date/time to be advised), we will need to vote on the following change to the By-laws.  The discrepancy was detected during a review of our renewal package, and passing this change is a condition of approval to remain in operation past May 09. 

 

The change is as follows: Article XII, Section 4 must be removed in its entirety. Rationale: the legal office has determined that it contradicts Section 3 of the same article. 

 

SECTION 4:  Participating retired military personnel, their family members, and other personnel not authorized full logistical support under USAREUR Regulation 600-700, will be informed of their responsibility to notify appropriate customs on any item purchased or won (other than for immediate consumption) if the value of the item exceeds $50.00.

 

Entire set of By-laws is available for viewing on line here or a copy will be emailed to you by requesting it at pespta.membership@hotmail.com .  Hope to see you at the next membership meeting.

 

Best regards,

CH

President, Patch Elementary School PTA
