SECTIONS 4.03, 4.04, 7.01(c), 7.01(d)
OF THE TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT 140 BYLAWS
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Due to COVID19 health pandemic, its uncertainties, and the rescheduling of the
Transportation District 140 Convention from April 26th through April 28th, 2021, it is
important that the Transportation District 140 remain in compliance with its Bylaws.
The Transportation District 140 Executive Board has decided to request from the Grand
Lodge a dispensation from Article 4.03, Article 4.04, Article 7.01 (c), and Article 7.01 (d)
of the Transportation District 140 Bylaws.
The motion was as follows: “That the DL 140 Executive Board requests
dispensation as detailed herein, to complete the LL delegate election process and
better align the administrative dates for the 2020 DL 140 annual Convention which
has been rescheduled to April 2021.
Article 4.03 to allow all Local Lodge delegates elections to be held on the date of
their respective November 2020 monthly general membership meeting.
Articles 4.04 and 7.01 (c) to extend the deadline for submission of both
delegate/alternate credentials and bylaw amendment proposals from July 31,
2020 to December 31, 2020.
Article 7.01 (d) to extend the deadline for the ST to send all properly initiated
bylaw changes and resolutions to the LL Recording Secretaries and District
Executive Board Members from August 31, 2020 to January 31, 2021”.
This dispensation request to articles 4.03, 4.04, 7.01 (c), and 7.01 (d) have been
approved by the Grand Lodge.
Therefore, this bulletin is to inform our members of the language changes made to the
Articles 4.03, 4.04, 7.01(c) and 7.01(d).
In Solidarity,
Alfredo Acrobati,
Secretary-Treasurer
