This meeting will be held from 7PM to 8:55M.  We must vacate the room by 9PM.

This is to be a long meeting with 30 minutes spent on the by-laws -- if need
be.  Board members please go over the by-laws prior to the meeting.  If you
feel that there has been not enough time to go over the by-laws, this item

To let everyone know -- Vice President Syvanen wants this meeting to be
about the by-laws, manning the Yolo County Central Committee Booth at the
Yolo County Fair and Jerry's Ice Cream Social.  Copies of the By-Laws will
be handed out at the meeting.  All board members will receive the revised
copies via another, separate e-mail as an attachement.  Please note that all

Usually, we have several guests, both members and non-members, at these
meetings.
