Section 3. Notices:
Whenever written notice is required to be given to any person, it may be given to such person, either personally or by sending a copy thereof by First Class Mail, Postage Pre-Paid, to his address appearing on the books of the Post.
If the notice is sent by mail, it shall be deemed to have been given to the person entitled thereto when deposited in the United States Mail for transmission to such person.
A notice of meeting shall specify the place, day and hour of the meeting and any other information required. When a special meeting is adjourned it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting, other than by announcement at the meeting of which such adjournment is taken.
It is the responsibility of the member to assure that his address is current in the records of the Post.
Whenever any written notice is required to be given, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.
Except as otherwise required by statute, National or Department Constitution or ByLaws, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of a meeting, need be specified in the Waiver of Notice of such meeting.
In case of a special meeting of members, such Waiver of Notice shall specify the general nature of the business to be transacted. Attendance of a person at any meeting shall constitute a Waiver of Notice of such meeting, except where a person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.
Section 4, Teleconference:
One or more persons may participate in a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Post by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in the meeting pursuant to this section shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
Section 5, Fiscal/Calendar Year:
The Post shall elect either a fiscal year beginning on the first day of August or a calendar year beginning on the first day of January.
Section 6, Indemnification:
The Post shall indemnify each of its Executive Committeemen, officers, and employees whether or not then in service as such (and his or her executor, administrator and heirs), against all verdicts, judgments and decrees and against all reasonable expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of any litigation to which the individual may have been a party because he or she is or was an Executive Committeeman, officer or employee of the Post. The individual shall have no right to indemnification, however, in relation to matters as to which he was derelict in the performance of his or her duty as Executive Committeeman, officer or employee by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties of his or her office or employment. The right to indemnity for expenses shall also apply to the expenses of suits which are compromised or settled.
Section 7, Distribution of Assets on Dissolution:
Upon dissolution of this Post, none of its assets may be distributed to any private member or individual, but such assets shall be transferred to The American Legion, Department of Pennsylvania, Inc., or if it should not be a qualified tax exempt entity to receive the same, then to The American Legion.
