     St. Charles Ladies’ Association Constitution AMENDMENT - MEETING FREQUENCY

The executive is proposing an amendment to reduce our required general meetings from three per year to one, due to low attendance and limited engagement. Additional executive meetings would be held as needed.  A vote on this amendment will take place at our general meeting on

Sat., Jan. 17  1:30 p.m. in the parish hall.

If approved, this meeting will serve as the 2025–2026 General Meeting. A light lunch of cheese, crackers, and Christmas dainties will be provided.  There will be no May general meeting.
