Guest Cathy Posted August 7, 2010 at 09:07 PM Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 at 09:07 PM When several families joined our organization they joined as families of three. They did not know that the by-laws stated that a family is only two members and nothing was ever said for three years. When someone decided to make an issue of it and insist the memberships be reduced to what the by-laws called for a member made motion to grandfather the existing families and exclude further errors. The motion passed unanimously but then two years later was again brought up by a Board member saying the membership cannot make a motion against the by-laws of course this was after the dues were sent in and check cashed.

Chris Harrison Posted August 7, 2010 at 09:41 PM Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 at 09:41 PM You must follow the bylaws and the adopted motion to "grandfather" in the families is null and void (RONR p. 244a). However, one option is to amend the bylaws to codify the "grandfathering" while leaving the family of two rule in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
