To be a Member, a Permit Holder or other eligible person must pay the annual membership dues on or before the due date specified by the Board. Any other individual or organization with an interest in supporting the work of the Association may become an Associate Member by paying the appropriate annual dues. Membership in the Association shall automatically include membership in the National Forest Homeowners (“NFH”) and the Washington State Forest Homeowners Association (“WSFHA”). Section 2.2 Dues The Board shall determine the respective annual dues amounts for Members and Associate Members, which shall include the amount of annual dues payable for membership in the NFH and the WSFHA, and the due date, which initially shall be June 30th of each year. Section 2.3 Member Meetings The Annual Meeting of the Members shall be held in July or August of each year in the vicinity of Lake Wenatchee, Washington, with the exact date and location to be determined by the President. At the Annual Meeting, Members shall approve an Annual Budget for the Association and elect Directors and Officers in accordance with Section 3.1. A special meeting of the Members for any purpose or purposes unless otherwise prohibited by statute may be called by the President or the Board. Section 2.4 Notice of Meetings Written notice of the place, day and time of the Annual Meeting and, in the case of a special meeting of Members, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten nor more than fifty days before the date of the meeting. Unless a Member has on file with the -1- Secretary a request to receive written communications by mail, notice by electronic mail to the address on file with the Secretary shall be deemed sufficient. Section 2.5 Voting Only one individual Member from each lot shall be entitled to vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of the Members. Action on a matter is approved by majority vote, unless the question is one upon which a different vote is required by express provision of law, the articles of incorporation, or these bylaws. Section 2.6 Action by Written Consent The President or the Board may submit matters to the Members for written consent or approval. Any such request shall be delivered by electronic mail to the electronic mail address on file with the Secretary or, if the Member has on file with the Secretary a request to receive written communications by mail, to the mailing address on file with the Secretary. The request shall describe the matter to be approved, the action requested and the date by which the Member must respond, which shall be no less than 10 days from the date the request is mailed. Members may respond by electronic mail or mail. An affirmative response from a majority of Members shall constitute approval of the matter. ARTICLE III. BOARD OF DIRECTORS Section 3.1 Election; Officers; Qualification and Tenure The Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall consist of three Directors to be elected by the Members at the Annual Meeting. At such election, the Members shall designate a President, Treasurer and Secretary from among the Directors. Directors must be Members of the Association. Unless removed in accordance with these bylaws, each Director shall hold office for a two-year term beginning on the day following the Annual Meeting and shall remain in office until the Director’s successor shall have been selected and qualified. Section 3.2 Duties of a Director The Directors of the Association must act in good faith, in the best interest of the Association and with due care. As a fiduciary, the Board is entrusted with the Association’s money and must be careful with the use of those funds. Among other things, each Director must examine financial statements to ensure the Association has adequate funds to pay its obligations and that those funds are being used to further the organization’s goals and mission. Each Director must act as an ordinarily prudent person would act. Directors are expected to use common sense and practical judgment, not necessarily be experts in every matter the Board considers. Section 3.3 Board Meetings The Board may specify by resolution the time and place for holding any regular meetings of the Board. A special meeting of the Board may be called by the President or any two Directors. Written or oral notice of special meetings of the Board stating the date, time, and place thereof shall be given at least 3 days prior to the date set for such meeting. Written notice is effective upon dispatch if such notice is sent to the Director’s address, facsimile number, telephone number or electronic mail address appearing on the records of the Association. Unless otherwise required by law, neither the business to -2- be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board need be specified in the notice of such meeting. The attendance of a Director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting except where a Director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully convened. Section 3.4 Quorum; Manner of Acting Two Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business at any meeting of Directors. If a quorum is present when a vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of Directors present is the act of the Board, unless the question is one upon which a different vote is required by express provision of law or the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Section 3.5 Participation by Conference Telephone Directors may participate in a regular or special meeting of the Board by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all Directors participating can hear each other during the meeting and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. Section 3.6 Action by Board Without a Meeting Any action permitted or required to be taken at a meeting of the Board may be taken without a meeting if one or more written consents setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed, either before or after the action taken, by all the Directors. Action taken by written consent is effective when the last Director signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a later effective date. Section 3.7 Resignation Any Director may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the President or the Secretary, or by giving oral notice at any meeting of the Directors or Members. Any such resignation shall take effect at any subsequent time specified therein, or if the time is not specified, upon delivery thereof and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Section 3.8 Removal Any Director may be removed from office, with or without cause, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Members present at the Annual or any Special Meeting of the Members. Section 3.9 Vacancies A vacancy on the Board may occur by the resignation, removal, or death of an existing Director, or by reason of increasing the number of Directors on the Board as provided in these bylaws and may only be filled as provided by these bylaws. A Director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office, except that the term of office of a vacancy to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of Directors shall continue only until the next election of Directors. -3- Section 3.10 Compensation By resolution of the Board and with consent of the Members, the Directors may be paid the reasonable expenses incurred, if any, for in carrying out the business of the Association. No other compensation shall be provided to Directors. ARTICLE IV.

  • GEOLOGIC MAP of the CHELAN 30-MINUTE by 60-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON by R
    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1661 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE CHELAN 30-MINUTE BY 60-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON By R. W. Tabor, V. A. Frizzell, Jr., J. T. Whetten, R. B. Waitt, D. A. Swanson, G. R. Byerly, D. B. Booth, M. J. Hetherington, and R. E. Zartman INTRODUCTION Bedrock of the Chelan 1:100,000 quadrangle displays a long and varied geologic history (fig. 1). Pioneer geologic work in the quadrangle began with Bailey Willis (1887, 1903) and I. C. Russell (1893, 1900). A. C. Waters (1930, 1932, 1938) made the first definitive geologic studies in the area (fig. 2). He mapped and described the metamorphic rocks and the lavas of the Columbia River Basalt Group in the vicinity of Chelan as well as the arkoses within the Chiwaukum graben (fig. 1). B. M. Page (1939a, b) detailed much of the structure and petrology of the metamorphic and igneous rocks in the Chiwaukum Mountains, further described the arkoses, and, for the first time, defined the alpine glacial stages in the area. C. L. Willis (1950, 1953) was the first to recognize the Chiwaukum graben, one of the more significant structural features of the region. The pre-Tertiary schists and gneisses are continuous with rocks to the north included in the Skagit Metamorphic Suite of Misch (1966, p. 102-103). Peter Misch and his students established a framework of North Cascade metamorphic geology which underlies much of our construct, especially in the western part of the quadrangle. Our work began in 1975 and was essentially completed in 1980.

Mills, Station Director, Pacific Northwest Research Station TITLE PAGE ESTABLISHMENT RECORD FISH LAKE BOG RESEARCH NATURAL AREA WITHIN WENATCHEE NATIONAL FOREST CHELAN COUNTY, WASHINGTON. INTRODUCTION Fish Lake Bog Research Natural Area (RNA) lies on the west end of Fish Lake (Photo 1), which is located on the east slope of the Washington Cascade Range. This RNA fulfills the need for an eastern Cascade marshland- bog, a low elevation wetland, and surrounding upland forest communities (Dyrness, et. al. 1975; WA Natural Heritage Program 1995). It provides habitat for the federally threatened bald eagle (Ha/iaeetus leucocephalus), special status animals and plants, and numerous other animal and plant species. Fish Lake Bog has received considerable interest in, and appreciation of, its natural values from local conservation organizations and regional universities (see Hansen 1941 ). The area was recommended for inclusion in the RNA network prior to 1977, at which time the Regional RNA Committee requested that public use of the area be assessed to determine the appropriateness of the RNA designation (Research Natural Area Committee meeting notes, November 18, 1977).

Much of this 323 acre state park is covered by second growth coniferous forest, but the park also includes sev- eral thousand feet of lake shore along Lake Wenatchee, a half acre island, and two thousand feet of shoreline along the Wenatchee River as it leaves the lake. The habitat bordering the lake and river form botanically complex wetlands in mid-sum- mer, as the water level drops, adding considerably to the botani- cal and biological diversity contained in the park. Methods Yellow avalanche lily,Erythronium Rare plant surveys grandiflorum, one of the first flowers to bloom at Lake Wenatchee State Park. and community vegetation surveys were conducted simultaneously. Plant community polygons were initially delineated remotely using orthophotos and ASTER satellite images. These tentative community assignments were then ground checked for accuracy and for dominant plant associ- ations.
