The club will be asking its members to ratify the new Club By-Laws. To see
these bylaws, click on the links below:
    By-Laws in PDF Format  http://yvm.net/vme/democrats/pdf/BYLAWS-M.pdf
    By-Laws in MS Word Format  http://yvm.net/vme/democrats/pdf/BYLAWS-M.doc

    The M in the filename is after Max Mikalonis, an ex-officio member of
the DDC Board of Directors. Other people that were instramental in bringing
you these by-laws were Betty Weir, Bob Bockwinkel, Carl Schmid, Mike
Syvanen, Claire Black Slotton, and G Richard Yamagata. The By-Laws Committee
is chaired by Jim Provenza. Carl Schmid and Jim Provenza were the driving
forces that brought the club to this point in the by-laws process.  Without
their leadership, the by-laws would have failed to been updated.  We have
tried to do this (update the by-laws) twice before in the last 4 years.

    As for the rest of the program: There will be a panel of 2 to 3
economists to educate the membership about the sub-prime crisis that has
property values falling, interests rates destabalized and the dollar falling
in value. This should be a very informative and educational meeting. Planned
featured speakers are an economy professor from Cal State University
Sacramento, a state economy lobbyist, and the California State Controller.

    The suggested donation at the door is $5.

    This is a potluck event. Please come break bread with us and share
pleasant conversation and food with fellow Democrats. Please bring enough of
your favorie food to share with 4 to 6 people. If you do not know what to
bring, the following is the suggested alphabet breakdown by Last Name:
