Hi All,
I bought a version at a bookstore and I use it to reference during our meetings. I am the president and also needed to learn Robert's rules of order when I was on my town's finance committee. Most towns use Parliamentary procedure for their town meetings as well.
I think you will find these to be VERY helpful, but I may suggest that you make a motion to adopt Robert's rules into your club for running a meeting to make it more difficult for a run a way executive board to ignore them.
We had a run away exec board a few years back that exploited the lack of Robert's Rules in our by laws to run a vendetta against one of the founding club members and attempt to run off anyone who questioned their decisions. Ultimately I called for a special election and had to send ballots with return postage on them to the membership in order to vote these people out. The exec board found out that lack of Robert's rules was a two edged sword.
