The original crew bylaws are missing, and we need to get new bylaws in place before we vote on officers. Here are the DRAFT bylaws. Here is the process for the bylaws:
1. DRAFT - these bylaws were taken from the Bylaws template, looking at other crews, and from a meeting with Emily and Charlotte. Based on their input, this draft is ready for crew review/input.
2. INPUT - Crew need to read the draft bylaws. If you have questions or comments, you can directly talk to Emily or wait until the review meeting.
3.  DISCUSSION - April 26 Crew Meeting will be questions and discussion in the business section. We have about 25 minutes scheduled for this, so if you do have lots of comments, Emily appreciates those in advance. You can call her at 595-2006.
4.  VOTE - May 10 Crew Meeting will be the vote. 

If you have any comments or questions, or need a copy emailed to you, please contact Emily or Betsy (599-8634)
