Amendments To By Laws

Some months ago a committee was formed for the purposes of updating the Staten Island Chapter By Laws.This was accomplished and we are awaiting word from the Supreme Advocate as to their merit. There has been question over the years as to whether or not our Chapter was a recognized one.That has been confirmed by the State. The by laws are a function of the Supreme Council. Until such time as the amended by laws are improved, we continue to operate under the existing ones.

Chapter Delegates

Worthy Grand Knights,

At the last Chapter meeting the subject of the number of delegates to which each Council is entitled came up. After a review of the by-laws we find that each Council is entitled to six (6) delegates for the first one hundred fifty (150) members and one (1) delegate for each additional fifty (50) members with a maximum of twenty (20) delegates for any Council. Please note that the additional delegates are for a full fifty (50) members not a part of, e.g. if you have two hundred fifty (250) members you are entitled to eight (8) delegates; if you have two hundred forty nine (249) members you only get seven (7) delegates. You are also entitled to an equal number of alternates. Alternates may vote only in the absence of a full number of delegates,e.g. you have two hundred fifty (250) members, you are entitled to eight (8) delegates, if only seven (7) of your delegates show up, one (1) of your alternates gets to vote. Membership is computed based upon the June 30th roster received from Supreme.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Fraternally,

James P. Flood, Sr., PGK, FDD
