Women s Walk- Everyone (Team+Pilgrims) 60; Pilgrims only 25; Dining Room 50 REVISED BYLAWS In keeping with the guidelines provided by our Nashville Home Office, the TRWE Board of Directors undertook the review of our Bylaws, which were last revised in After much review and discussion, the Board, with a 3/4ths vote, approved revisions to the Bylaws to be effective January 1, You can review the revised Bylaws, along with the changes that were approved, by clicking on this link: TRWE REVISED BYLAWS In accordance with the stipulations in the Bylaws, unless a petition is signed by at least 25 members, the Bylaws will go into effect on January 1. Please feel free to review the Bylaws in detail, but following is a summary of the revisions that have been approved by the Board: Article III Objectives Typo correction Article IV Membership Clarification of the timing of Annual Meetings, Gatherings, and notice of announcement of a slate of names of new Board members Article V Board of Directors Clarification of the make-up of the Board of Directors. The make-up of the Board is not changing. We simply tried to clarify the number of positions and the intent for the Community Spiritual Director (CSD) and Community Lay Director (CLD) to serve one additional year after their term ends to help in the transition. Article VI Duties of the Board of Directors (VI.B.1) Changed the annual term of the CSD to begin on January 1, rather than July 1, so that the term of all members of the Board would run January 1 December 31. Also clarified that a Clergy person could serve 3 terms as CSD on the Board, in addition to 3 terms as Board Director. This was not really a change in intent, but rather simply a clarification to avoid confusion. (VI.K) Job Descriptions for the Executive Committee will be revised and approved as needed rather than annually. (VI.L.1) Lay Directors for walks can serve as Lay Director in Training on any prior walk, rather than on the prior walk. (VI.L.3) Clarified the make-up of the Team Selection Committee. (VI.K and VI.M) Eliminated the requirement for 11 Coordinator positions. This will not change the NUMBER of Board members, but will allow newer, inexperienced Board members to not have to fill

3 defined Coordinator positions immediately in their first year. This will give them an opportunity to function on the Board and assist Coordinators, without having to take on the full responsibility of a Coordinator role. Other changes in this Article were simple clarification of procedures already in practice Article VII Duties of the Executive Committee Removed the need to review and approve changes to the Executive Committee duties annually and, rather, as needed. Article VIII Amendments/Revisions Clarified that the procedure for ratifying amendments also applied to revisions. Article X Ratification Changed the dates to reflect that these new revisions will be effective January 1, 2018, and that these replace the prior Bylaws that were last amended on January 4, If you have any questions on the revised Bylaws, please contact me (chub.dietz1@comcast.net or ) or any other Board member. Any petitions to oppose the revised Bylaws must be received by a Board member not later than December 15, DeColores Chub Dietz, CLD Pilgrims to pray for: Walk 101 Pilgrim name Church Sponsor Andrew Campbell Faith Country Chapel Scott/Judy Campbell Robert Caresani Rural Valley UMC Ernie DeLuca Steve Graham Galloway UMC Janet Stewart Sam Goldstrohm Dayton UMC Eugene Smith George Leone Dubois UMC Lance Tucker Chett Schall Elderton Presbyterian Brenda Sommerville Schall Tim Scherf The Summit AOG Lynne Scherf Marvin Snyder Paradise UMC Roger Howard Ray Woodcock Center UMC Larry Kretzler Walk 102 Pilgrim name Church Sponsor Linda Barnett Rural Valley UMC Donna Detwiler Esther Bowden Seward UMC Karyn Harshbarger Lynn Bryan Grace Church, Cranberry Marsha Kuhns/Lill Griffith Judy Erdley Cochran s Mill UMC Doris Grafton Lucia Denner Champion Christian Ctr Lavonne Snodgrass Karen Fulton Crossroads Vineyard Peg Cofffee Bina Fyock Harmony-Zelienople UMC Marsha Kuhns/Lill Griffith Debra Germany Jesus Dwelling Place Merle Timko Shauna Graham Galloway UMC Janet Stewart Judy Kielty Our Redeemer Lutheran Karyn Harshbarger Julie Kolacz Mt Zion UMC, Beallsville Lucy and Mary Kinder Joan Kriebel First Baptist, Clarion Janet Stewart
