In the event any Officer is unable to complete their term, a replacement will be elected from the general membership of the SBBC.
6. Officers make up the Executive Committee and will meet separately from the general membership meetings, as needed. Minutes from these Executive Committee meetings will be read at the next meeting of the general membership.

9. A minimum of $1,000.00 is suggested to be held in the treasury from one year to the next. The yearly term runs from June 1 St through May 31st.
