WHEREAS, the Article II, Section 3 should be changed to read: 

In the event the National Office receives a membership fee from an individual who has indicated a desire to affiliate with a named Branch, the National Office will notify the Branch by mail that the membership fee has been received and at the same time, transmit the Branch's share of the membership fee to the Branch. Upon receipt of notification and the branch's share of the membership fee from the National Office to the Branch, the member is considered a member of the Branch.

BE IT RESOLVED, that a change is made to the existing rule that within thirty (30) days of receipt of notification by the branch, a member is considered to be a member of the Branch.
