The amendments presented for your discussion in the August Bulletin have brought a few comments, it's too early for complete returns as yet. These comments are presented in the article following this message. The resignation of Norman F. Stanley as Chairman of the Planning Committee has been received and Sam Moskowitz, well known and well liked New Jersey fan, has been appointed his successor. Andy Lyon has been appointed to fill out the unexpired term of Milton A. Rothman as Official Editor. Milty, as explained before, has resigned to attend school. If you haven't already done so, but desire to run for office, rush your petitions so that they will be on file with Art Widner and Marty Carlson before October 1st. Art Widner's address is: 121 Norton St., No. Weymouth (91) Mass. K.M. Carlson's is: 1028 3rd Ave. So., Moorhead, Minn. Respectfully submitted Dunk Walter Dunkelberger President of NFFF The AMENDMENTS Before presenting the comments that have been received on the proposed amendments I would like to explain why these amendments are necessary. I will take them in the order they appeared on the proposal sheet. Concerning the Sec'y granting memberships. As it stands it is necessary for the Sec'y. to poll the Board of Directors, a task which usually consumes at least 30 days. Frequently that lapse of time causes a new fan to lose interest and he will drop out. Empowering the Sec'y to act subject to review, would eliminate this "red tape". The second proposal dropping the "grant membership" clause in the Directorate powers is only introduced to avoid conflict with the first proposal. The third proposal concerns broadening the powers of the Board of Directors. I believe that they should have these powers. The organization should not be so set up as to operate on the initiative of one individual. The act would not only give the Board added powers but added responsibilities. The fourth proposal concerning the dropping of a member for non-payment of dues only legalizes traditional proceedure and a Presidential Order of this year. The fifth proposal deletion of revocation of membership by the Directorate clause. This should be deleted as it is a needless repetition of the section refered to in proposal number two. The sixth proposal concerning the deletion of the restriction on officers from holding more than one office at a time. Personally I'm in favor of retaining this "as is" but it's deletion would remove the barrier for the President, or any other officer, to assuming the office of Official Editor should the need arise.
