Dues Increase – TI is increasing the 6 month dues from $36 to $45 starting October 1.  The board recommended that we change the club dues from $3 per month to $2.50 a month which changes to total cost to members from $54/6 months to $60 /6 months.  Jeanine moved and Andy seconded to accept the Board’s recommendation and it passed unanimously.

Proposal B – This proposal makes the International Audit Committee a standing committee.  The motion was made to instruct our Proxy holder to vote for it.  It was seconded and passed.

Proposal A – This proposal removes the requirement for TI to have their physical location in California from the By-Laws. The motion was made to instruct our Proxy holder to vote for it.  It was seconded and passed.
