The Crosses know a person who wants to join the club but is unable to come to a meeting (a
requirement for membership as per the constitution) due to medical reasons and distance. There
were discussions about how the club could accommodate these situations and still abide to the
club constitution. Kathy Smith said CCA allow a video to be submitted with a sponsor due to
medical reasons. Kathy Smith asked if we could submit a bylaw to allow for a video submission in
these circumstances. There were discussions about if constitutional amendments are allowed. It
was agreed that the club can only change the constitution every 5 years, as per the constitution.
Using Skype to attend a meeting was discussed as an option, or if attending a puppy match with a
meeting would be allowed. Dale Van Camp will look further into the matter.
