Rolling memberships is in bylaws. Will have to be changed with a vote. Multi-
year problem that we need to resolve. Table and we will move on.
Newsletter Editor Report
The main thing for tonight is that they need stories. Send us the details and we’ll
write it. Would like to see more creative content to spice it up.
Consider having newsletter on website. PDF is already there but perhaps we
could integrate more.
Brentwood Park robberies, should we add that to the newsletter. Absolutely.
Newsletter seems to be about CNA business and would prefer to shift away and be
more about actual stories. Use the website for CNA business.
