publish ,a minimum 15 days before the SSHOW year end banquet,  nominations for 
vacant Board positions coming up for that yr. Then at the banquet further 
nominations will be taken from the floor and vote taken.

Ron made motion to ammend by-laws to read:" if a member of the board 
fails to attend 3 consecutive monthly meetings, the President shall contact 
Board member in question to determine whether he/she needs to be replaced.  
This shall be reported at the next monthly meeting, and a decision will be 
made at that time."  ****I know I don't have the correct wording on this so 
HELP, please!!
