** Note, the by-laws changes were approved by the membership on April 11, 2012. **

Please see the proposed By-Laws in the About->Chapter By-Laws tab above.  These revisions will be voted upon at the April 11, 2012 meeting.  Any ballots mailed in (please find one in your latest Halfmoon newsletter) will need to be postmarked by April 6.  Otherwise bring them in person to the April 11 meeting.

A note about the by-laws.  The last revision to the by-laws was in 1994.  Since then the club has evolved, the BMW CCA has evolved and the CCA’s own by-laws have changed.  The Board of Directors began the task in the Spring of 2011 and sought input from the members throughout the year.  They now present these revisions to the chapter for a vote of approval.

You can now follow the patroon chapter on twitter!  @patroonbmwcca
