To all Tacoma Wheelmen's Club members:

As you may know the executive board has proposed that. the
club be split into 2 clubs. One club will be primarily devoted
to racing and the other to touring.

If the split is approved by the general membership at the
November 18, 1981. club meeting, each member will be allowed to
join either or both clubs. The treasury , less all legal fees
conected with the by laws change and the formation of a new
incorporated club, will be divided in proportion to the members
joining each club. For example, suppose the club has 1000
dollars in the treasury and 100.members. Each member share of the
treasury is $10.00. 30 members want to join’ the racing club
only, 40 want to join the touring club only and 30 want to join
both clubs. $450.00 will go to the racing club. This is the
sum of $10.00 per person for those wishing to join the racing
elub only and $5.00 (a half share)for those wishing to join
both clubs, $550 will go to the touring club. qygee Taber Ss
are for illustration only, The actual numbers w undoubtly
vary.

Each member is allowed to indicate his preference by filling
in the following form. The form may be given to any club officer
at or before the club meeting to be held on December 18, 1981.
Any member who does not return the form will automatically become
a member of both clubs. The club treasury will be divided at the
December 16, 1981 meeting. Disputed claims to membership will
be resolved by a vote of the members present at that meeting.
Each individual or family. membership has one vote and one share
of the club treasury.
