  1. We made a mistake and are now caught up in a mobius strip debate about our bylaws. Here are the facts. The bylaws provided for: Presidents to be elected in January. They would serve a two year term. And the elections were held in even numbered years. In January 2016 our current president was elected. Six months later we changed the date of elections, moving it back from January to October. No other changes were made nor were any put up for a vote. The president and the rest of the membership anticipated that the next election would be in a year from October and she understood her term would, as a result of the change in month, would be less than a full two years. In planning the election for this coming October it was noted by one member that it is not an even numbered year and that we couldn’t have an election. It was noted by another member that were we to wait until October 2018 the president would then have had a term of more than two years. Our annual meeting (when bylaws get changed) is coming in less time than the bylaws require proposed changes to be sent to the members for considersation. The reality is when we changed the month from January to October, we should have changed the words “even years” to “odd years” but we didn’t. Any suggestions as to how we fix this?
