Article 2 – At year’s end, the membership co-ordinator so designated by the Board of Directors (hereafter referred to as the BOD) will send a complete list of current members including name, town, state of residence and phone number to paid-up members. This list will be sent in .pdf format via e-mail to all members with that capability. Those who do not have that capability will receive a paper copy. Those who have e-mail capability, but still desire a paper copy, may request to be mailed a paper copy via e-mail, telephone, postal mail or in person at a meeting. Those who do not wish to have their name included on this list can opt out by request to the membership co-ordinator.

Article 3 - Meetings will be held monthly, unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors. Meetings will be held on weeknights (Mon. thru Thurs.), when possible as dictated by meeting place availability.

Article 4 - A member can be expelled from the club for violation of club bylaws, and/or dishonor to the club by a majority vote by the BOD. Once expelled, all club rights and privileges are ended and the person will be refunded the balance of his or her membership money, pro-rated by the date in quarterly increments.

Article 5 (amended; old article 8 incorporated) – The BOD will be comprised of 5 members. One of the 5 will serve as Treasurer. As a general rule, but not a necessity, one will also be the Newsletter Editor, Membership Co-ordinator & Webmaster for the club’s internet web site. If the Newsletter Editor and/or the Webmaster are not members of the BOD, all newsletter and web site content must be approved by the BOD before publishing (newsletter) or posting (web site).

The number of directors may be increased to 7 by a unanimous vote of the 5 current board members. (So as to insure a tie-breaker for votes, an odd number of members must be maintained.) The club will be managed by the BOD exclusively. Directors’ duties will be divided by and with the agreement of the BOD. Any director wishing to resign should give the BOD one month’s notice as a courtesy so that the replacement procedure can commence.

Members will vote at the December monthly meeting of each year for officers forming the BOD. Nominations will be made at the November meeting prior. Members voting must attend this meeting.

Article 6 - Members in attendance at monthly meetings may propose desired amendments to bylaws to the BOD. The proposal will be voted on by showing of hands by members in attendance at the following monthly meeting. Majority vote rules on acceptance or rejection.

Article 7 - BOD will always execute rules set forth in club bylaws.

Article 8 - (existing) - BOD is comprised of Newsletter Editor, Treasurer, Webmaster and four Directors. Past Directors or officers that have completed one year of service hold 1/2 vote on club matters. The club is managed by the BOD exclusively. Increasing the BOD with new club volunteers is acceptable if present BOD agrees 100%. Any officer wishing to resign will give the BOD one month notice as a courtesy.

Article 9 - Duties of the BOD:

• Treasurer: Handle all monetary club dues, income from raffles, etc. and establish assets and debts for club. Treasurer must have BOD approval to spend club funds above $100. Money allocations over $100 will be determined by majority rule of the BOD. See also Article 12.

Article 11 - The club internet website (SFAOD.com) will describe club objectives, BOD names, and have an introduction/application form. The purpose of the website will be to provide communication to the club from outside via e-mail, promote club activities and provide a membership application. Fishing reports, meetings, trips, etc. will be announced when possible. Negative or inappropriate material will not be permitted on the website. Sale of members’ personal fly fishing-related items and SFAoD club items will be allowed upon review by the webmaster for conformity to these articles. There will be no commercial sales or illegal messages allowed. The site will be monitored by the BOD and if necessary, the Webmaster will remove information requested by the majority vote of the BOD.

If approved by a majority vote of the BOD, a member wishing to do so can set up such a trip also. If necessary, a committee of volunteers may be formed to help with such a trip. Such trips will be published in the newsletter and, if possible, the club internet web site.

Article 14 - The club as put forth is not responsible for any member mishaps or accidents due to any activity at or outside any club meeting place and during any fishing or other club excursion.
