Correction: A recent modification of the Skal International Documents allows for Clubs to exist and therefore have one vote with 10 to 65 members versus the 15 that was stated in the below communication. Members must be in the categories of Active, Life or Retired to count towards that number. Young Skal does not count towards that total. Please disregard the portion below that is crossed out, and instead, use the aforementioned language for determining your club's eligibility for 1 vote.
