At our October 16th, 2024 monthly meeting, the Board of the Clinton County Canine Club proposed an amendment to our By-Laws to allow vouchers given to instructors and assistants of our training classes to be exchanged for either a class registration fee or annual membership dues. Currently vouchers may only be used for class registration fees.
To enact this amendment, a 2/3 approving vote of those present at the December 4th, 2024 membership meeting is required, provided that the Secretary has informed the membership in writing of the proposed amendment at least two weeks before the meeting. This email serves as the required advance notification to members.
This amendment applies to Appendix 1, Section B. The current and proposed wordings of the affected section are below.
Current Text
B. Number of Instructors and Assistants per Class – payment:
There will be one primary Instructor per class with one assistant at instructor’s discretion. In special circumstances, an additional assistant may be added.
Instructors and assistants who complete the majority of a class will receive a gift of a voucher for a free class. The voucher can only be used for future class registration fees. There will be a five (5) year expiration date on the voucher
