• If the deadline is missed, this form needs to be brought ON PAPER to the regular monthly meeting and must be sponsored by a board member.  Sponsorship can be arranged by 

                    contacting members directly.  The sponsor can then make a motion to add the item to the agenda, which will be voted upon at the beginning of the meeting.  A majority Board vote will
