This is not intended to preclude the collection of membership fees to cover the expenses of the group, or of charges for specific activities, programs or events, or to prohibit groups from engaging in legitimate fundraising.

The motion with the most votes will be passed. \n+\n+b) Executive Meetings:\n+\n+The executive committee shall meet on a monthly basis where date and times are to be set by an executive.
