A member may be expelled for conduct
unbecoming a member of the
Club as the Scripture are for reproof, 2 Timothy 3:16, we are responsible
to
our fellow members for his actions. If we find that we have a problem
with a member's actions or alleged
actions, we should approach that person
as Christ instructs in Matthew
18:16. If this step does not reach the issue
or
difference, we should take a witness(es) to that person as in Matthew
18:16.
If resolve cannot be reached at this
level, then as in Matthew 18:17, we
should bring that person before the Executive Board for the appropriate
action.
The Executive Board will have a meeting with the charged member.
They shall take evidence of such

its findings with their

a. That the charges be considered proven and the member expelled from
the
