Rye Rotary Bylaws to be Amended
 
At the January 6, 2017 regular meeting of Rye Rotary the membership discussed the need to amend the bylaws of our club which were last amended in 2007. The current bylaws have provisions that are no longer applicable nor practical and apply to a structure no longer advocated by our parent organization, Rotary International.
 
Please click go to our website ryerotary.org  to review the latest version of the proposed changes to the bylaws. In the proposed revision, highlighted in yellow, is the wording that has been amended. Please refer to our current bylaws (posted under "Links" on our website) to understand what wording is now in place.
 
For those of you interested in doing so, the Board welcomes and encourages all your comments and suggestions.  Please direct your comments and suggestions to manheimer@verizon.net and the Board will review them and do their best to incorporate them into a final draft.
 
In accordance with the existing amendment process, the final draft will be distributed to membership by email at least 10 days in advance of one of our regularly scheduled meetings, probably a meeting sometime in March, at which time the latest revisions will be discussed and the amendments voted on. Bylaws can be amended at any regular meeting as long as there is a quorum present, by a two-thirds vote of all members present.

His letter:
 
We are in Fl.  My cardiologist finally cleared me to travel last Monday.
 
I feel fine. As a matter of fact I never DIDN'T feel good. In spite of the fact that I've never had symptoms, my cardio guy decided that the most recent tests didn't tell him enough. He catheterized me, found a couple of blockages, and stented me.
Happiness is a curious cardiologist.
Emily and I return on Feb 10. I look forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting thereafter.
Many thanks for thinking of me.
 
Best,
Tom
 
  • CONGRATULATIONS TO ED HERBSTER!! HE IS THE ESTEEMED RECIPIENT OF THE PAUL HARRIS FELLOW RECOGNITION PIN! Ed is a Trustee/Treasurer of The Rye Rotary Foundation.  He also is the Senior Club Advisor and Historian.  Also, he is the District Secretary.
 
Note: The Paul Harris Fellow recognition was created in memory of Paul Harris, the Founder of Rotary, as a way to show appreciation for contributions to the Foundation’s charitable and educational program.  A Paul Harris fellow is an individual who contributes $1000 or in whose name that amount is contributed. Every Paul Harris fellow receives a pin.  This identifies the Paul Harris fellow as an advocate of the foundation’s goal of world peace and international understanding.
  • CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR OWN RYE CITY POLICE COMMISSIONER MICHAEL CORCORAN FOR HIS RECENT PROMOTION TO THE RYE CITY PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICE
     
  • AREA 3 GATHERING. The Area 3 Gathering was held at Emilio’s Ristorante last week.  Thank you to all who attended.  Our Club was represented nicely.  Our Rye Rotary Club is thriving both in membership and participation.
