Dan Tyrrell, lot #790, commented on the motion that was made at last years annual meeting to have the by-laws put on the agenda for today’s meeting and wondered why they were not discussed. President White said that they reviewed the tapes of the last Annual Meeting. It was stated at that meeting, but not in the minutes, that the request to have something brought up at the Annual Meeting had to be put into writing and submitted to the board at least 30 days prior to that meeting to have it added to the agenda. We received no such request from any of the membership .It was decided the minutes of last years meeting should be changed to add that statement.
