Dear Club members,

The Club 509 annual meeting is required per our by-laws. Article 9.1 for the purpose of annual elections, conducting certain club business, and receiving reports.  This year we will receive reports from each officer, propose/discuss goals/vision for the next year. We will specifically discuss current bylaws with proposed amendments that will allow your donations to become tax deductible as well as update some other nuances to allow for more modern activity such as online voting ability. Per Article 8.1 “To amend the Bylaws of this Club requires a two-thirds vote of the membership present at a meeting specifically called for such purpose. Proposed amendments shall be well publicized to the membership one (1) month prior to the vote. All amendments must be voted upon and approved by 2/3 vote of members present.”

We will be calling a General Membership to largely focus specifically on the proposed amended bylaws as well as the annual elections for your 2026 officers.
