and 2 new brotherhood. Questions were raised and debated by the Lodge
Advisor and Miwok Clan Advisor pertaining to the low candidate turn-out
of the Navarro ordeal.

Due to poor election turn-outs, a new calendar was implemented:
- All scoutmasters must have received a letter, notifying them of elections,
by the end of January.

- If there are issues with the elections, the scoutmaster is to contact
either the Chapter Advisors, or the Lodge Advisor
- All elections are to be completed by the 1st of April.
