President Stepping Down & Vote On New President
The demands on my time continue to increase and I find that I no longer have the time to devote to being president of Bethlehem Rod and Gun Club.
As of June 1, 2017, I am stepping down as President. I will turn over the keys, president’s badge and club materials, in my possession to John Kirk, vice president.
It has been my pleasure to serve as President of BRAGC.
Sincerely,
Bill Wiseman
************************

Vote will be by secret ballot by the members present. Succession will be by majority vote of the members present and voting. This will be held in accordance of BR&G Bylaws.
