Well, I decided to double check my facts. Just as I had stated, the by-laws are exactly as Sherry typed them up, because she typed them up correctly. There never has been a #5 in the name and purpose section of the by-laws. Please pull out your September/October 2000 issue of the HPOCA magazine and turn to page 44. The newly adopted by-laws were printed in the magazine at that time.

After posting the other day, I remembered when the #5 was added to the mission statement in the magazine, and that it was odd, since it wasn&#039;t in the by-laws. But I also wanted to see a museum someday, so I didn&#039;t complain.

And your friend Jim is right, the header could have been changed. But this time it wasn&#039;t. 

If anybody has misplaced their Sept/Oct 2000 issue, we have all of the back issues, and they are for sale at the great price of $3 each, plus $2 shipping for the first one, and $1 shipping for each additional magazine. You can send orders to our address as it was printed in the magazine. Please check the magazine page on this site for availability.

I have attached a scan of the first page of the by-laws as the were printed in the magazine. I would think that they would be the official version, since that is what the members voted on.
