August 16, 2005
To the members of the Alamo PC Organization, As I mentioned in my “President’s Message” this month, August is normally the time each year when the members vote. Usually the voting is only to select new directors. This year, however, separate votes are required for Bylaws and directors. The first vote involved accepting or rejecting the proposed changes to the Bylaws, which were posted to the Alamo PC web site on August 1st. Members had the opportunity to read the proposed Bylaws and vote during the August 1st-14th. The members voting almost unanimously supported accepting the proposed changes. The second vote involves electing directors. As the Bylaws state, "In August of each year … the Board of Directors shall hold an annual meeting of the members for the purpose of electing directors of the organization for the following fiscal year beginning October 1." Our August 8th membership meeting was that annual meeting. It was also the time when Article 5.4 of the Bylaws was utilized - "Nomination of Directors: ... prior to the election of directors, a member qualified to vote may nominate a person with the second of any other member qualified to vote." Individuals nominated by a member and those proposed by the Nominating Committee constitute the list of individuals vying for the seven director positions authorized by the amended Bylaws. The biographies of nominees are posted on the web site and should also appear in the September issue of the PC Alamode. Voting for directors begins today and conclude at midnight on September 12th (the night of the Sep monthly meeting). If there are any questions, or more information is desired, please feel free to contact me by E-Mail or call me at (210) 532-9122 (answer machine after 4th ring). As a final request, please consider being present at the September 12th
General meeting of members (at Crossroads Mall). You will receive a report
on the amended Bylaws, election of directors and be able to further your
computer related knowledge through the scheduled program.
William L. Klutz, Jr.
