Parkville Rotary Club Bylaws
To the full membership of the Parkville Rotary Club
One of the Board assigned tasks for this year was to review and updated the Club Bylaws - both for Parkville Rotary Club (501c4) and for Parkville Rotary Charities Inc. (501c3). That task has been undertaken, and after 4 multi hour meetings the results were unanimously approved by your Board yesterday, Friday March 10, 2023.
Attached are PDF's of these updated Bylaws for both entities for your review. While similar in some regards, they are not the same. The Bylaws had last been revised back in 2016 - but the Club has changed somewhat with new membership categories, committee structures, and some revised operating procedures. The updated Bylaws were edited to reflect those changes, and bring the Club more in line with actual operating procedures in recent years.
In my opinion there are no radical changes .. but there was significant amount of updating which is to be expected with a Club of our stature, involvement, and activities within the Community.
Please review at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions, please let your Rotary Bylaws Committee know. They are: Kathy Leibrand, Dave Rittman, Sandy Knoernschild, Michelle Sparks, Dalyn Novak, and Lynne Fahy. Our email addresses are in the CC header to this message
Now that the full Board has unanimously approved the revised Bylaws, they are being presented to the full membership with the required 10 days' notice - and thus a vote will be sought for approval at our lunch meeting Friday March 24th. Then the task of the committee will be completed.
Thank you all for all your efforts and support of Parkville Rotary Club and Parkville Rotary Charities.
