Now, according to what Steve is additionally proposing; would strip the right to vote away from every present Associate Member? Folks, this is a MAJOR change to our club's Constitution that I personally can not accept. This is a very steep, backward slope that we are embarking on... one that should alienate every current associate member. Associate members contribute much to our organization in so many ways, other than by simply attending the club banquets. Steve; please withdraw this proposed change.
