Set up an informal 5 group

to talk about the possibilities

meeting. These should

include a by-laws com- .

mittee. The time and place

for the next meeting should

be set.

“At ‘the’ second meeting,
the committe should read
the proposed by-laws. If
there are any objections, or
if there are any changes the
group feels are necessary,
they should be made at this
time.

If the group accepts the

There are many points’ to

keep i in mind while forming a
club. One. of the most im-.

incorporate the club.

There are good arguments
both pro and con. If the
members’ decide to in-

‘corporate, then the club is a~
legal entity. In the eyes of |
the law, ‘it is just like a |

If they don’t incorporate,
it is.a voluntary association,

club will probably want to

making the decision whether

Whether incorporated or
