:: Creation ::


The Scrabble Club was created in October of 2004. The original idea and conception to create the club was Ryan Nauman's. At first, starting with only a few friends and hopes of a large club on this campus the 'club' began to follow the neccesary steps leading to formal recognition. After the club's approval the club has gained and lost many members in a short period of time. The club's future looks great as long as the Scrabble aficionados are out there.

:: Scrabble Constitution ::

I. Name of organization: Scrabble Club

II. Purpose of organization: To provide amusement while simultaneously incorporating anagram, math, reasoning, and vocabulary skills.

III. Membership: New inductees will be subject to approval by the Scrabble Guru (President) and The Duke (Vice President). Any and every person is welcome to join regardless of race, sex, physical appearance, etc. Members must be active, attending at least one meeting per month. If that month is passed without activity members will be placed on an inactivity list in which they will stay until a) They become active again –or- b) 2 months of further inactivity passes and they are removed. Once removed you must go through the approval process once again. Membership will require only general information about the player (i.e.: name, age, status at college, why they want to join, and phone number.)

IV. Officers: The Scrabble Guru (President) will be responsible for organizing any possible trips and overseeing that the club as a whole runs smoothly. Also, The Scrabble Guru has power to remove anyone (Officer, or member) from their position at any time. The Duke (Vice President) is required to organize the meetings in case they should be changed and make sure that the meetings run appropriately. There will be a Mediator (Co-Vice President) in order to help with decisions up to the President and Vice President if there were a dispute for some reason. Furthermore, the Mediator will be responsible for any general duties that another office may not be listed as doing (Getting refreshments, snacks?, etc.). The Moneymaker (Treasurer) will be accountable for organizing fund raising events and keeping a steady eye on the clubs funds. Although, it is up to the Scrabble Guru and The Duke to decide where those funds that are accountable for go towards. The Butch (Secretary) will be responsible for taking attendance at the meetings as well as controlling the member list.
All officers must show a desire to hold the position and attend all meetings unless class, extracurricular activity, or emergency interferes.

V. Meetings: Meetings will be held weekly on Wednesday nights at 8:00pm until so desired. This time and day is subject to change depending on availability from the majority of members. Until funding and a regular location is assigned meetings will take place in Building A’s 2nd floor lounge.

VI. Quorum: At least 6 members must be present during meetings in order to operate.

VII. Advisor: The duties of the advisor are simple. They must attempt to learn the names of members, attend any meetings as much as possible, give insight to officers when questions arise, and general help and support with the group. Either the Scrabble Guru or the Duke will be in charge of locating a faculty member here at the university in order to be the advisor. Advisor will be removed if he or she loses interest, leaves the university, or if complications/disputes arise. Scrabble Guru and Duke will decide whether or not to let an advisor go.

VIII. Amendments: Require two-thirds vote of total active members in order to pass. Approved amendments must be submitted to student congress for approval.

IX. Bylaws: Bylaws will be in place if necessary and it is noted that they will be recognized but as of this time none exist. Bylaws will be subject to a one-half vote of active members along with consent from Scrabble Guru.
