AFM Local 47: Covering Lots of Bases

Modernizing Bylaws: At the April 27 General Membership Meeting we are also calling a special meeting of the Musicians Club, the entity that owns our physical property. There will be a bylaw resolution to allow us to vote both online as well as by mail or in person. Currently the bylaws, written in 1924, require the use of postal mail only for a referendum. For voting reasons, this meeting will be in person only. Please make your plans to attend and help us modernize the voting process to save your money and resources on future important votes!
