WHAT IT MEANS: #
Proxies for Voting – At Club Membership meetings, Proprietary Members can vote either in person or through a proxy. This proxy has to be their spouse or another voting member of the Club, who must attend the meeting to vote. The Board of Directors meetings do not allow proxy voting.
Gender and Number References – Any pronoun used in the Bylaws should be interpreted to match the gender and number of the person or people it refers to, whether it’s masculine, feminine, or neutral, and regardless of whether it’s singular or plural.
Fiscal Year – The Club operates on a calendar year basis for its financial and fiscal reporting.
Bylaws vs. Membership Plan – If there’s ever a disagreement between what’s written in these Bylaws and the Membership Plan, the Bylaws will take precedence. However, it’s important to note that changes to the Membership Plan don’t require the same amendment process outlined for the Bylaws in Article X.
