NEW CLUB CONSTITUTION     Every three years there are changes that result from actions of Rotary's Council on Legislation. Our new Club Constitution took effect on Jul 1st this year. You can download a copy from the Dowloads section of the web site (see the menu on the left side of the page).   Portions that do not apply to us (because they are for e-clubs) are shown with strikouts. New language is highlighted in yellow or orange..   The major changes are: Our club's territory is the entire City of San Bernardino. Transferring Rotarians need to show that they do not owe money to their former club. The immediate past president is an officer of the club. Sheldon Ewell   A NEW ROTARY YEAR BEGINS   Each July 1st is the start of a new Rotary year. Our president for 2011-12 is Sheldon Ewell. As the "Great Sheldini", Sheldon promises a year of fun, fellowship and service to our community.
