1st Annual M.A.S.S. Members Business Meeting


In July, members of the Missoula Area Secular Society elected their very first board of directors and instructed them to turn M.A.S.S. into a legal non-profit organization.

Since then an attorney has volunteered his expertise, Articles of Incorporation have been drafted and approved, Bylaws have been drafted and approved, both have been filed with the Secretary of State, and the forms for filing with the IRS are being finalized.

Our new bylaws call for an annual meeting of the members in October for the purpose of electing directors. So, on Thursday, October 22nd, we'll (re)elect a new set of 5 directors (one more than we have now), and kick off the staggered 3 year terms for those directors that our bylaws call for. Members must be present at the meeting to make nominations and vote.

We'll be meeting in the "small conference room" at the Missoula Public Library at 7:00pm. Come in the lower level entrance off of Front St. The small meeting room is in the hallway next to the computer room.

We promise to keep things short so we don't take up your entire evening, so please arrive on time (or early) so that we can knock this out and adjourn. An impromptu post meeting social gathering/celebration at a nearby bar or restaurant wouldn't be surprising for those wishing to make a longer evening of it.

Feel free to R.S.V.P. on the Facebook group (not required). Having our Twitter updates sent directly to your cellphone is recommended for last minute updates and changes.
