Clarification And Final Word On The Dress Code Policy
At the Semi-Annual Meeting on December 4th, 2024, the Club policy was that denim attire was permitted except on Wednesday Program days. Because some of the members felt we should open this ruling to a vote by the membership, we cast our votes regarding whether denim attire should be permitted at times other than Wednesday Morning Programs. To approve or not approve the proposal, a vote of 2/3 of the ninety (90) members present – meaning 60 votes – was required. The outcome of the votes was: 36 Yes, 48 No, and 6 Abstain. Since the ‘no’ votes did not meet the 2/3 requirement, the policy remained unchanged.
The “Policies and Procedures”, Section V, Membership Expectations – Club Attire has been clarified regarding the dress code policy and is available on the Club website.
As a result, denim attire will not be allowed, without exception, for members and their guests on Wednesday Program days. This policy ensures a consistent and professional appearance during our programs. All members are expected to comply to uphold the club’s standards and unity.
Denim attire is accepted at the Club on days other than Wednesdays except when “No denim” is specifically stated in the Chair’s event description.
For other club events, dinners, and celebrations, the appropriate attire will be determined by the event chairs. Participants are kindly expected to adhere to the specified dress code to maintain the event’s decorum and standards.
