The term “member” has been used in the past to mean a member who is 18 years old and older. However clubs have members who are younger than 18 years. The city requires clubs to update terminology from “member” to “Senior member”, when it comes to such items as voting. The voting process will include an item for you to vote on this change. Summary The AGM requires a quorum of at least 25 members. It is our hope that you will take the time to join the meeting and vote on November 16th at 7:00 pm. Please ensure that you are able to connect to the meeting by adding Zoom to your computer or device. Stay well and stay safe! Ivan Jimenez President WOPTC |
