<br />said third Monday in September was more likely most convenient because everyone is usually on <br />vacation in July. Melvin Rettig said late September or early October is good from an agricultural <br />perspective. Mr. Cazier suggests we go for three different dates: 3rd Monday in July, September, <br />or October. Mr. Cazier takes a poll: All in favor of 3rd Monday in July? 2 people. Those in <br />favor of 4th Monday in September? - count taken. Those in favor of 3rd Monday in October - <br />count taken. Stan Cazier: Looks like it's the 4th Monday in September. <br /> <br />Article IV (cont.) Section 7. - Substitutes and Proxies. Lurline Curran thinks the Committee <br />should have written proxies, and that they must be received prior to the meeting. Stan Cazier <br />asks for a vote to allow for attendance by proxy or substitute. Vote count: 13. Those who do not <br />want substitutes and proxies. Vote: 5. Mr. Cazier: The ayes have it. Does anyone have any <br />problem with Lurline's additional language providing for written proxies?
