and
WHEREAS, Broadening La Societe's membership criteria
harms no group or person,

charity, selectivity, or honor at the heart of La Societe,
now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That Article IV Section 1, WHO MAY
BECOME MEMBERS ,
be changed to

Honorably Discharged Veterans and all Military Personnel

acted upon at our Grand Promenade in July. Each Voiture is
asked to present it to their voyageurs, approve or dispprove it
and return the results to the Grand Correspondant. Then send a
delegate to the Grand Promenade to be held in Hickory, NC, and
vote your preference. If a delegate from your Voiture is not
present at the Grand Promenade, you will have to abide by the
decision of the delegates present. To have your voice heard
be sure to send a delegate.

Can a space on the wed site be set up to
report on Voyager & comrads in sickness or distress.
This way everyone that checks the site will be able to see
who is not doing so well.
Once this information is posted on the web
site it is then public knowlage and would be avabile to
anyone who visted the site Voyager and non-Voyager
alike. There are many people and family's, for their own
private reasons, that do not want this information to be
made available to public.
After talking this over with the Grand Chef and out of
respect for our Voyagers and their family's the answer is no to
posting the information on the website.
However if you know of a Voyager or comrad that is in
sickness or distress send the information to the webmaintainer
using the site contact page and it will be sent out to the
Grand Voiture Information List. This is one of the uses that
this list is setup to accomplish.
Please be sure to include all the information, the
problem, how to contact them, their Voiture Locale number, and
your contact information.

One of the goals for this web site is to
improve the communication from Grand Voiture du North Carolina

list is being setup. If you are a Voyageur Militaire in North
Carolina please subscribe to the Grand Voiture du North
