ok......to my original post about the lifetime memberships.....this subject was proposed by me at the last meeting. After discussion and ammending the motion, it was passed that we would advertise Ten (10) lifetime memberships would be sold at the next meeting for $150.00 each. This announcement would be in the membership newsletter sent before the meeting. In the event that there are more than 10 members interested in purchsing a lifetime membership we would draw names from a hat (lottery) to decide who would purchase the memberships. We would limit the lifetime memberships to (10)so as not to affect club revenue in a drastic measure in later years. Fast forward to now..... a board member (who was not present at the last meeting) has stated that this idea is null and void as our bylaws do not mention a lifetime membership, and roberts rules of order do not allow it. The Club by laws can be ammended.....but I cannot find anything in Roberts rules of order pertaining to this subject??????
So.....If we ammend our bylaws to allow the sale of lifetime memberships, does roberts rules of order have any affect on this?
I feel this member does not personally like this idea, and is using his "knowledge" Of roberts rules of order to buffalo us into doing what he wants.
As it stands now, this buisness is to be included in next months newsletter. (decided on by vote of officers and directors present at the last meeting) But this other director says it is null and void......so.......long story short......who is right?
