TMBC Bylaws
ARTICLE V - Meetings
Section A - The regular meetings of the TMBC shall be held once a week, except when the meeting date falls on a holiday, or when the Executive Committee decides otherwise.
Section B - Meetings shall be conducted by the President, or, in his absence, by the Vice President.
Section C - All members shall be required to attend all meetings. Any member missing more than one meeting per month for any duration without good reason is subject to membership review by the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee shall have the power to revoke any membership that does not meet this requirement. Any member missing four meetings in a row will be automatically dismissed from TMBC and will be officially informed by the Membership Chairperson. Rejoining will require the initiation fee and any past dues plus general membership approval as required for all new members.
Section D - On occasion, it may be necessary for a member to take a temporary leave of absence from the Tuesday Morning Breakfast Club. This may be done with the understanding that this time will not exceed eight consecutive meetings per calendar year. The member will be required to pay one-half the normal monthly dues during the time away from the club.
Section E - Guests. Members must call the Membership Chairperson before inviting a guest to a meeting for several reasons:
a. Only one guest representing a specific occupational area should be invited on any given day.
b. A maximum of three guests should be allowed so that each one can have a few minutes to tell the membership about his company/profession.
c. A maximum of three guests is necessary to avoid a drain on the club’s financial resources, since the club pays for guest’s meals.
