Our Club expelled a member for his behavior. He was asked to return his membership card, and in return we would refund his dues.
He wants his refund first and then he'll return his card. What is the standard procedure in this case?
Standard or Not, the Jetero RC Club, Inc. Constitution so states:
>>>>
"SECTION 2
When the conduct of any member becomes detrimental to the charter and welfare of the Club or if any member conducts him/her self in any way contrary to, or in violation of the Constitution, by-laws, or rules of the Club, he/she shall be notified of his/her misconduct and may appear before the membership at a regular meeting to defend his/her actions.
If upon review of charges, the membership finds the charges to be true and two-thirds (2/3) of the members present at the meeting vote to remove said member from the rolls, such member shall be so removed without return of any portion of dues or fees previously paid by said member."
<<<<<
Note the restriction to "....regular meeting..."
The Board cannot call a "special" meeting for the purpose of ousting someone they don't like. [:-]
