Constitution
and Bylaws:
· Members, Please review the following proposal (attached) to change the Roost bylaws. The change simply removes the specific day of the week that monthly meetings will take place. This will allow any future changes to the meeting dates to take place without needing additional changes to the bylaws. The first public reading of the proposal was at the Aug. 14th meeting and will be read again at the Sept. 2nd meeting, then a vote for approval will be held at the October 7th meeting.

Funny Poop
A doctor and a lawyer were talking at
a party. Their conversation was
constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the
doctor for free medical advice. After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor
asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people from asking you for legal
advice when you're out of the office?"
"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and
then I send them a bill."
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The next day, still feeling slightly guilty,
the doctor prepared the bills. When he
went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.
