ARTICLE III MEMBERSHIP Section 3. Requirements: B.

ADD:
7. Non-Republican political candidates, political officeholders, party officials or their representatives shall not be allowed to address the group or distribute political materials at NFRW, state federation, and club meetings or events.

Rationale:
Our organization and members promote the principles and support loyalty to the Republican Party at all levels of government, and support the objectives and policies of the Republican National Committee, etc. There is no way to justify having elected officials or candidates of another party speak at a meeting or event, no matter what the topic.

PROPOSAL 4 - ADOPTED

ARTICLE VIII DUES AND SERVICE CHARGES Section 5. Fiscal Year: B.

NOW READS:
The fiscal year of each state federation and local club shall be from January 1 through December 31.

ADD:
C. The fiscal year of College Clubs shall be from August 1 through July 31.

Rationale:
College groups meet August to April of each year and have their required 5 meetings during that time. Membership will be more attractive to students by recognizing their specific fiscal year as August 1 through July 31, providing them with full benefits of membership during the school term. This will not affect the fiscal year of the NFRW nor require additional bookkeeping. It will simply provide members of college groups membership privileges from August 1 through July 31.
