Any such amendment must be proposed in writing by an active individual member at the meeting immediately preceding that at which the amendment is to be voted on.

Sec. 2

The scope of these Bylaws, and any amendments to these Bylaws, is limited to the matters specifically placed within the discretion of this Club by the Club Constitution or by a policy of the Board of Directors of Toastmasters International. This Club shall not have the power to amend any reference in these Bylaws to the Club Constitution.

Sec. 3

Upon its adoption by this Club, the Club Secretary shall immediately mail a copy of any Bylaws amendment to the Executive Director at World Headquarters of Toastmasters International for review. If Toastmasters International finds that the amendment does not exceed the scope of permitted amendments to the Bylaws of this Club and is not otherwise improper, the amendment shall be filed in the records of Toastmasters International. If Toastmasters International determines that the amendment exceeds the scope of permitted amendments or is otherwise improper, Toastmasters International shall so notify this Club, and the amendment shall be null, void, and of no effect.
