Guest H.Wm.Mountcastle Posted May 8, 2010 at 09:24 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 at 09:24 PM The fiscal year is (probably) irrelevant. But even the fiscal year is 365 (or 366) days long.

That's when that person will have been a" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest H.Wm.Mountcastle Posted May 8, 2010 at 09:33 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 at 09:33 PM It like the little sign you see when you walk into a store to buy beer. You have to have born on or before May 8, 1989, if you want to buy beer today. They don't really care about fiscal years." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jewel Posted May 8, 2010 at 09:36 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 at 09:36 PM The issue appears to be determining if the one year requirement for a member to become an officer applies to induction date (May) or the date the golf league begins and the officers begin their term of service(September).

Guest J. J. Posted May 8, 2010 at 11:01 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 at 11:01 PM It is actually May 7, 1989, the day before the anniversary, if you check the sign. A year is a year, not a fiscal year. A year after she join, sometime in June, the first person is eligible. J. J." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DAN Posted May 9, 2010 at 12:09 AM Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 at 12:09 AM You will have to make your decision, but let me offer an opinion and analogies. A year usually means 365 days (366 if there is Feb 29 in the period). Think of it like a bank CD. You buy a 1 year CD on May 15, 2009 and it matures in one year - on" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ann Posted May 9, 2010 at 01:35 AM Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 at 01:35 AM I do undertand that but it is NOT in the by-laws when you actually join. Is it the day of the dated check, or the first day of the new season league opening? My point is we all interpret it differently and what do you do with that.
