Bezis v. Livermore Heritage Guild CA1/4
LHG’s bylaws approved in 2009 contain an article entitled “Membership.” Section 1 of the article states: “Membership in the Guild shall be open to any individual, family or organization ascribing to the above Mission and having an interest in promoting its objectives.” Section 2 states: “Active members are those members who have paid their dues for the current year.” Section 3 affords active members “full voting privileges” at general membership meetings and eligibility to hold any office in LHG, whereas section 4 allows LHG to confer honorary memberships for “outstanding” contributions to LHG or its mission. Section 5 states: “Membership categories and dues shall be defined in the Standing Rules.” The bylaws provide that the “Standing Rules shall be just as binding as the Bylaws.”
LHG’s Standing Rules contain an article entitled “Active Members’ Dues and Honorary Membership.” S
