Hey Larry,
You are wrong, dead wrong!!! A motion was made by Darrell Pollesch I believe I am correct, to include the recommendations on the annual ballot. That is the only time any vote was taken on a bylaws issue, and it passed. The changes will be on the annual ballot for the membership as a whole to vote on. That is the facts of the matter, I was less than 5 feet away from the President at the time, and heard it correctly. As far as facilities goes, that was arranged by the show, not by HPOCA, we used what they gave us, we were supposed to be inside, the show changed that. I would have rather been inside where I didn't need to put my papers on the ground to read them all, surely they would have a small table or something. You do with, what you have to do with, at the time.
Have a great day!
Andy
