Committee member Jane Ferguson said this was done to help fill the class. Mary Lee said our Policies and Procedures say classes will be open to the public 30 days in advance.
Motion by Kay Fiero and seconded by Diane Sewald: “Add to Policies and Procedures that non-members who wish to sign up for a class be put on a waiting list and they will be notified 30 days in advance if space is available.” Linda Parkhouse offered an amendment stating that non-members would be notified six weeks in advance. Amendment defeated. Original motion passed.
