Whereas the present bylaws of Evergreen State Priory #41 read as follows:

Section 7: The Eminent Prior, at the time of his installation, shall appoint a Finance Committee of three (3) members whose duties shall be to examine and audit the books of the Registrar and report at the Annual Conclave. The Eminent Prior shall also appoint a Financial Signing Committee of Four (4) consisting of the Registrar and three (3) members, (Eminent may appoint himself) any two of which may meet the required two (2) signatures on all Financial transactions of the Priory. A copy of each shall be received by the Prior within thirty (30) days.

And

Whereas: the banks do not honor a second signature; and

Whereas: the second signature is for internal use only; and

Whereas: having pre-signed checks is un-necessarily risky; and

Whereas: getting a second signature on a check is an undue burden to the Registrar;

Therefore, be it resolved that a portion of section seven of the Evergreen State Priory #41 Bylaws be changed to read:

Section 7: The Eminent Prior, at the time of his installation, shall appoint a Finance Committee of three (3) members whose duties shall be to examine and audit the books of the Registrar and report at the Annual Conclave. (The Eminent Prior shall also appoint a Financial Signing Committee of Four (4) consisting of the Registrar and three (3) members, (Eminent may appoint himself) any two of which may meet the required two (2) signatures on all Financial transactions of the Priory.) A copy of ~~each~~ such shall be received by the Prior within thirty (30) days

Fraternally submitted,

Eugene Alexander
