Proposed By-Laws Changes Announcement

The vestry of St. James' Parish is proposing modifications to our By-Laws. These changes will be adopted if a majority of the members of St. James' Parish vote to ratify them at the Annual Parish Meeting on January 24, 2010. Copies of the current and proposed By-Laws will be available in the back of the church and chapel as well as on the News Section on the St. James' website. The major changes include:

• appointment of a youth representative to the vestry
• procedure to administer the vestry selection process
• ratification or election of new vestry members
• termination of a vestry member due to three months of unexcused absences.
