As you probably know, Mothers Day is Sunday, May 10. We have a
standing rule in force that states:

+1. No DLV events or activities will be formally or informally
+planned or scheduled to occur on Mothers Day (normally the
+second Sunday in May) nor on the two days (Friday and Saturday)
+immediately preceding Mothers Day.

Therefore, I'm raising a motion to suspend (not revoke) this rule
and allow us to announce, informally, attendance at MCC and an
evening Pre-DLV get-together on Sunday, May 10.

I want the go/no-go on this to be a group decision here.

(begin motion)
This is a motion to suspend the rules and allow us to announce,
informally, attendance at the Metropolitan Community Church
morning service and an evening Pre-DLV get-together on Sunday,
May 10, just prior to DLV 2009.

This is a one-time suspension of the rules, not intended to
modify or revoke any relevant standing rules.
(end motion)

Vote result:

Votes are in on the motion to suspend the rule and allow us to
announce the informal Pre-DLV activities on Sunday, May 10,
which is Mothers Day.

Results are:

For: 13
Against: 1
Abstain: 1

Motion carries.
