When admitting a new member, what's to be done regarding the
original partnertship agreement. Should this be changed to
include the new members name and a new date, and then
re-signed, or should an amendment be made, signed and
included with the original agreement? Thanks.

Stewart,

A lot depends on your state. Here in Minnesota, most of us register our
clubs under an Assumed Name certificate (as a general partnership). If we
add, delete or change members, or anything else in our partnership
agreement, we're supposed to submit an amended version, pay the fees again,
resubmit it to the newspaper--Ugh! Most of us simply add an addendum to the
original agreement and be done with it!

And when members go, we simply draw a line through their name and write the
date their resignation was accepted. Our minutes are the official record of
their departure.

Hope that helps.
