John went on to say that the following resolution would be tabled and considered and if thought fit would be
passed.
A)“Luqman Michel has willfully created unsubstantiated and false reports against innocent members publicly, in particular, accusing President and Secretary of manipulating, altering and falsifying the minutes of the Board/Regular Meeting at which he was absent and therefore he could not possibly have any basis or knowledge to question the accuracy of the minutes without any amendments.B) “His FB friends have made reference to our Club as ‘filth’ and claimed we are associated with ‘illuminati’. He has made many derogatory remarks on our club officers.”
The name of any member who shall absent himself from four consecutive regular meetings of the club without acceptable cause being given to the attendance committee chairman or the club secretary, shall be submitted to the BOD by the secretary at the Board Meeting next following the fourth such absence, and the BOD shall decide whether such member shall be dropped from the club or retained on the club roaster.
The following is extracted from the internet.
Clubs have a statutory duty to keep minutes of the proceedings of its
members and board. Since members should be able to examine the minutes
and make extracts from them it is important that the minutes be complete and
accurate.

The altering or fabricating of minutes is a very serious issue. Not only is it a red flag about the integrity and honesty of some senior management, but it is a sure sign that the policies and procedures governing the control of minutes and other legal records are seriously lacking. Not to mention the fact that it is also a criminal offense.
“Falsifying documents” is a type of white collar crime. It involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deceiving another person. It can also involve the passing along of copies of documents that are known to be false.
