ONLINE CONSTITUTION & BYLAWSSubmitted
by Valerie Cooper, PSG, PHQ, Chairman of Supreme Jurisprudence Committee Information has been sent from the Supreme Office regarding the decision of the Board of Trustees to change the format of the Constitution & Bylaws from the ‘white book’ size to a standard 8.5 x 11 paper. Once completed, the new format will be placed on the IOJD website so everyone can download her or his own copy. With receipt of this information, questions have come up - following is some additional information, which we hope, will assist in answering these questions. Printed copies can be requested from the Supreme Office in the event a person is unable to download herself or himself, but only in the new format size. A person can download the files and place into a binder of their choice. We recommend that the Supreme pages be printed on white paper as is currently used.GGC’s / JGC’s can format their Manual to be compatible with the new sizing and make available online. It is our recommendation that each jurisdiction follow the same page numbering as indicated on the Supreme page and if there is more than one page to contain the necessary information it would then be numbered as 1a; 1b; 1c etc. Some jurisdictions have different size paper so we suggest using the sizing closest to the 8.5 x 11 and print to match what is on the Supreme page even though it may create larger margins. GGC’s can utilize whatever paper color they would like, whether it is the
color they currently use, another color or white. If the only change is formatting and housekeeping items, it will not be necessary to submit to the Supreme Jurisprudence Committee for approval. However, if a jurisdiction makes changes to the content or integrity of a page it will be necessary to handle this change through the amendment process. We would also encourage jurisdictions to take this opportunity to make the changes: ‘International Order of Job’s Daughters’ to ‘Job’s Daughters International’ and ‘IOJD’ to ‘JDI’ as housekeeping. At the Annual Session of the SGC some may be working from the older, smaller size and others will already have the larger version. It will be additionally important that we place our attention on the ARTICLE number and Section rather than page numbers.

Travis Fast, PAGG of Oklahoma,
PABG #2 OKC, OK, and a Oklahoma
Past State Bethel Beau, was diagnosed with colon cancer in late January.
He entered the hospital and the doctors removed a tumor the size of a
grapefruit, and 10 of the 21 lymph nodes biopsied were affected. His
oncologist said that this type of cancer is entirely survivable, and his
attitude is half the battle. Travis is in good spirits, laughing and
joking. Travis will begin chemo-therapy in a few weeks, and it will
last for 6 months. The Oklahoma
Job's Daughters family would like to ask for your thoughts and prayers for
Travis, his wife and two children in this, their time of need. If
you would like to contact Travis to extend to him your best wishes, you
can e-mail him at travisfast@cox.net
