Bylaw Amendment – proposed

Sep 27th, 2009 | By Secretary | Category: Bylaws, Featured Articles

Sponsor: Russell Freeburg

Sponsor’s statement of purpose: Under section I, articles B and C, I propose a 2/3 majority be required on motions which under section III, the trustees are required to submit for approval to the Assembly membership any action which would 1. cause a major change in the natural appearance of the Assembly. 2. involve a major change in uses or availability for sale of Assembly property or a major purchase of additional Assembly property. 3. authorize any basic change in the character of the program of the Assembly. Also, on motions interpreting or defining the scope of limitations provided in the article. The intent is to form a greater consensus when changing Assembly fundamentals. With a simple majority as a threshold, divisions can linger. With a 2/3 majority required to enact a change, it is hoped that a clear and reasonable purpose can be attained before changes are defined acceptable to the membership.

I am from…by Crissie Fuller

Jan 12th, 2009 | By Doug Fuller | Category: Featured Articles, Literature

I am from hand stitched quilts.
From creaky wood floors and musty blankets.
I am from screen porches, from family dinners, card games, and stories.
I am from damp towels and swim suits on the clothes line that never get all the way dry.
I am from birch trees, hollyhocks, and soft, warm, sand.

I am from Washburn
From Mallory
From Elliott.

I’m from, “one at a time on the slide, please!” and “let’s shake some hands and say good game!” I’m from “10:30 swimming, HURRY, HURRY, HURRY!”
I am from South Shore, Standish, and Shorewood.
From Alden Edwards, Esplanade, Fuller, from Lover’s Lane.

I’m from Steam Boatin’, Freedom Bound, and Go West!
From Down-ies, Yacht-ies, and Town-ies, from ups and downs.
I’m from Papano’s Pizza in the Crystal View parking lot.
From the Dunes to the Point to the Yacht Club, I’m from scratching swimmers-itch at the Cherry Bowl Drive-In.

I am from pop, ping-pong, and putt-putt.
I’m from beach fires, sunsets and thunder-storms.
From the Northern Lights, shooting stars and fireworks on the Fourth of July.
I am from boat docks, sunburns, and mothball scented steamer trunks.
I’m from sailing, swimming, and S’mores.
From sandcastles and mosquito bites.

I smell like sunscreen, pine trees, and warm rain on pavement.
I taste like cherries, corn-on-the-cob, and Mackinac Island fudge.
I feel like cool, clear water, beach grass, and wet sand.
I sound like the wind rattling the sailboat’s halyards against their masts, Wednesday night choir practice, and crickets.
I look like my mother, and her mother, and her mother’s mother.
I am from these people, these places, these things.
I am from summer,
I am from the Lake.
