By-Laws Amendment In accordance with our By-Laws, the Executive Council has approved and is posting in the newsletter the following statement to be added to section 2. CLUB ORGANIZATION D. Members 4. Members may invite a non-member on one club trip with the permission of the trip leader. That member assumes a certain degree of responsibility for the non-member. To attend additional trips, the non-member must become a member in good standing. This clause is being added at the request of our new insurance company, the United States Canoe Association. This change will be announced and discussed at the January General Meeting and voted on at the February meeting by paper ballot. Absentee ballots must be received by February 14th. A proposed change must be approved by two-thirds of the members voting in order for the By-Laws to be amended. If approved, the change will become effective immediately. November Election Results At our November elections we had annual elections, the post of President and both Members at Large were contested. Steve Berner and Fred Hosage both ran for President and, in a hotly contested election, Steve was elected President of the Long Island Paddlers. Frank Durante, Barry Goldblatt, John Giuffre and Paul Giiwoyna ran for Members at Large. The vote was close but Barry and Frank won the election. Kristen Costa ran unopposed for Treasurer, Edith Burian regained her former position as Secretary and Alan Mindlin was re-elected as Vice President. We thank all members who stepped up and ran for office to help make this club better. We also thank Lenora Daniel and Ken Fink our outgoing Secretary and President for their hard work in 2011.
