Saturday morning November 11 is the Special Meeting called by the Executive
Committee
in response to strong membership interest at the February 2006 Annual General
Meeting.
The purpose is to change the bylaws regarding the date of the AGM, from the
first quarter
of the year to the last. You can read the February minutes, website
announcements, and
the newsletters for further details. Details will also be in the upcoming issue
of Words &
Music.

Assuming there is a quorum (please, everyone plan to attend, or this meeting
will be an
expensive waste of time), the Special Meeting will then become an AGM, the
second of
2006.

Assuming there is a quorum, and the date change passes, and this meeting thereby
becomes an AGM, we will also vote on any other proposed bylaws or contest rule
amendments. Also, the AGM scheduled for February 2007 and future years will be
moved
to a date in the last quarter of the year.

If you wish to propose any changes to bylaws or rules, please get them to the
Executive
Committee by September 22, in time to be reviewed and published 30 days before
the
AGM, as set forth in our bylaws.

Additional events for the weekend are: Games Sponsor meeting Friday night, and
workshops Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.

We will post further details about workshops in the next few days, but see the
previous
email and upcoming announcement on the website for the workshop presenters. It's
a
stellar lineup.

Additionally, if you have further questions or suggestions, please contact a
member of the
EC; email addresses are available at www.wuspba.org, under the Administration
tab.
