My Bylaws Part I

I am making a new group that consists of my dolls, I am using Robert's Rules as a guideline for the procedures.
Since every group, if it wants to be official, has to have bylaws, I am making some.
I will be posting the minutes of each meeting, and the treasurers' reports.
But right now, I will show y'all my bylaws.
