Proposed Change:
ARTICLE II
Membership:

Section 5. Lifetime Membership

Change last sentence to read:

If approved, he shall be awarded lifetime membership credentials in the Pensacola Hawg Hunters Bass Club, shall receive free annual dues for the remainder of his life, and shall be accorded all rights and privileges granted active members.

Reason

All mention of lifetime membership should be removed from the SOP. Sometimes when you try to state something it does not always read as clear as you might intend and people get the wrong idea. This restates everything in a better manner and puts it in the constitution where it belongs and out of the SOP.

Remove from SOP
