<DIV>All Phoenix SPS members,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) A short document listing the changes only. It is posted online
at:</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) A markup of the complete Phoenix SPS 2005 Bylaws showing the proposed
changes. It is posted online at:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

href="http://www.phx-usps.org/OpsDocs/PhoenixSPSBylaws2008Markup.pdf">http://www.phx-usps.org/OpsDocs/PhoenixSPSBylaws2008Markup.pdf</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
