Agenda for January 17, 2015 Meeting – Texas Knifemakers Guild

TEXAS KNIFEMAKERS GUILD BYLAWS 11112014

We have the back room reserved from 12-4. The reservation is under Vance Hinds.  Let me know if a lot of people anticipate coming to observe the meeting. I wiill post the agenda before the meeting. If you want something on the agenda, send it to me in writing by January 10th. We will follow the agenda at the meeting. Anyone can speak on an item buy only the directors will be voting.

Below are 3 options for our regions map. Please vote on the option that you want for our regions map in the Texas Knifemakers Guild Group on facebook. VOTING CLOSES SUNDAY NIGHT AT 8:00 P.M., 11/9/14! Whichever region has the most votes at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow night wins. Region 2 is having a discussion Sunday night at 9:30 p.m., so we need something set by then so that Region 2 people can participate. Please remember that these regions nomimate the 5 board members from that region. The Board of Directors at the first meeting can change the regions. But the vote will determine the regions for selection to the initial Board of Directors. Also if near boundary line or out of state, you can select the region you are in. Only vote once. Vote by posting “Option ___” in the space below. Hopefully this will put the issue to rest until the Board of Directors meeting in January. Option 1 is my stab at the state. Option 2 follows the natural contours of the state and the design on the flag. Option 3 is a modified option 2 with Abilene staying with San Angelo.
