Constitution, specifically Article XI Sec 13. <br>Which states that resignations
must be submitted in writing to the Club <br>Secretary not via e-mail to the

current membership ruins through 31 Dec <br>2011, I suggest 30 Sept is a
premature departure.<br><br>Also I take more than a little umbrage at your
apparent low esteem of your <br>fellow PYC members! We count among our

consider this an official correspondence. Nancy and I are resigning <br>from PYC
on September 30, 2011, hopefully placing us in the "good standing" <br>category.
I have to say that I am somewhat surprised and disappointed, that <br>this is
the only option. But then, I suppose PYC does not see many of <br>members being
activated for military service.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Scott Johnson<br><br>Sent
