                                    a. Reed proposed ratification of the changes and was seconded by Bill.

1) Reed noted that these changes had been accepted by the HO Club previously and the action of the Executive Board was in response to the request to consider the changes from the HO Club for overall change to the Club Constitution. The Executive Board did make two small additional changes which Reed pointed out. Copies of the revisions were handed out by Executive Secretary Reed.

2) The changes made by the Executive Board were accepted by the HO Club by open vote of the attending membership.

3) The N Club had previously accepted the changes noted above and therefore the changes are ratified by the Club as a whole and are now part of the Club Constitution.
