| | Robert's Rules of Order (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The By-Laws detail (1) term of office and authority of officers, (2) standing (permanent) committees and their functions, (3) dues, fines, bills and other assessments, (4) date and method of nominations and elections, (5) order of business for meetings, (6) number of members needed for a quorum, (7) means of amending the By-Laws. |
 | | To open the meeting, the Chairman stands, raps the gavel, and announces: "The meeting will please come to order." When no quorum can be had, he says: "As there is no quorum, a motion to adjourn is in order." The motion is made by a member, seconded, and the Chairman adjourns the meeting. |
 | | Motions are listed in the order in which they have the right of presentation and discussion (precedence) over motions in other categories and within groupings. |
