[Phoenix] Phoenix SPS Bylaws Amendments

[Schloemanb at aol.com]

All Phoenix SPS members,
 
The USPS Governing Board meets twice a year.  At many of the meeting  the 
Governing Board approves changes to the national bylaws that are needed to  
properly address the policy of USPS.  Some of those changes ripple down to  changes 
needed in both district and squadron bylaws.
 
The national Committee on Rules accumulates the changes and about once  every 
three years it issues a new set of model bylaws for both districts and  
squadrons.  The latest version of the model bylaws for squadrons was  released 
February 2008.  The Phoenix SPS Rules Committee has reviewed  that document and 
determined that the Phoenix SPS Bylaws need to be amended to  bring them up to 
date with USPS policy.
 
The Phoenix SPS Rules Committee has prepared two documents for your  review.  
The changes they represent have received preliminary approval  by the 
national Committee on Rules.
 
1) A short document listing the changes only.  It is posted online  at:
 
_http://www.phx-usps.org/OpsDocs/PhoenixSPSBylawsAmendments.pdf_ 
(http://www.phx-usps.org/OpsDocs/PhoenixSPSBylawsAmendments.pdf) 
 
2) A markup of the complete Phoenix SPS 2005 Bylaws showing the proposed  
changes.  It is posted online at:
 
_http://www.phx-usps.org/OpsDocs/PhoenixSPSBylaws2008Markup.pdf_ 
(http://www.phx-usps.org/OpsDocs/PhoenixSPSBylaws2008Markup.pdf) 
 
The markup convention is to use red strikeout text for words that are to be  
deleted, red underlined text for words that are to be added and black text for 
 words that are to be retained.
 
At your next opportunity, please look at either of the documents.  The  
squadron will be considering approval of the proposed amendments at the  2008 
September General Membership meeting.
