In response to your request of June 28, 1975, to incorporate the proposed amendments allegedly passed on June 27, 1975, please be reminded that The Stelle Group is not bound by any vote or action taken at the meeting called for June 27 at the Cullom Community Center due to the fact that said meeting was not held at the registered office of the corporation as required by Chapter 32, Illinois Revised Statutes, Section 163a 12:

 

“Meetings of members may be held at such place, either within or without this State, as may be provided in the by-laws. In the absence of any such provision, all meetings shall be held at the registered office of the corporation in this State.”

 

The legality of this meeting was objected to for this reason by 34 members and 18 associates who refused to participate in its deliberations from the outset. The Stelle Group is not bound by the opinion of your attorney, Mr. Stodd.

 

Further, we find your request for cooperation quite incongruous with your actions especially those taken at the By-Laws Amendment Committee meeting of June 22, 1975, in refusing the request of the Committee to have a week to review your proposal. Please be reminded that your actions to proceed independently of the committee was censured by vote of that committee, as recorded in a roll call vote on this motion:

 

“It was moved by Jim Howery and seconded that a roll call vote be taken to approve or disapprove of the action of the 4 of the 22 to pull out of the negotiations and proceed on their own independently of the committee and to bring their proposal to the membership outside of the committee action.

 

Yes, approve: -0-

No, disapprove: 7         (James E. Howery, Dennis Monikowski, Richard Leary, David Berry, David Cysewski, Gary Ennor,

Gail Kieninger)

Abstain:           5 (Damon Williams, Malcolm Carnahan, Walter Cox, Al Davis, Richard Hellner)
