A Letter to the Officers
and Board of Directors
[Also received by this writer, reprinted with permission]
January 27, 2003
Dear Fellow Kiwanians,
I am fully aware of the club by-laws that state no more than 30% of the total membership shall be "Senior Members", since I was the one that proposed this by-law.
My request on January 6, 2003, was for reinstatement as a senior member much the same as the club approved when I had [two Senior Members] returned after they had resigned, which also exceeded the 30% rule. {Senior Member] was voted in as a new "Senior Member" when the club was over the 30% rule.
As a "Life Member" awarded to me by the Laconia Club some 15 years ago, I must be affiliated to a club as an "Active" or "Senior Member" and my association with the "Southern Carroll County Kiwanis Club of Wolfeboro, N.H." as a senior member covers international requirements.
I respectfully request that the board, by a majority vote, accept or reject my reinstatement as a "Senior Member".
Yours in Kiwanis,
Richard V. Breton
