Our most holy document is the Covenenant |
2) As always, the following groups are
encouraged to engage in lively conversation and "reading"
with the Circle: fruit bats, sweet-smelling, polite Parisians, Magyars
named Steve, and of course, any "goer", eh, know what I mean?
3) New members. Membership in the Circle
is by invitation only. Each candidate for associate membership must
be sponsored by a Foundational Member (see Covenant for list), and naturally,
have a deep and abiding interest in "reading", "literature"
and of course, Emily Chesley. Also, a willingness to provide Foundational
Members with "reading" material would be welcomed. A quorum
of Foundational Members (3) must agree that the new member is suitable
for the said member to be accepted within the Circle. Usually,
the wearing of a silly hat is involved.
Associate members may vote at meetings, receive Circle e-mails and other correspondence, and otherwise contribute to the mission of the Circle. Did we mention that they are encouraged to provide "reading" material to Foundational Members? Associate members may never nose-tweak or fence-wedgie Foundational Members, unless Scottish "books" are provided in compensation. At their first meeting, new associate members are required to wear a silly hat. 4.) Foundational Members shall now be known to the group as "Founders". Associate members and "Founders" shall also be known as "Members" or by the following specific appellations:
Alternative designation: Visiting Member
Alternative designations: Member-in-law
Alternative designations: Erudite Member
Alternative designation: The shame that has no other name
Alternative designation: Bobbited Member
5) In addition to our condemnation of the Norwegians (Damn
the Norwegians!), the Circle shall curse the following nationalities from
the Low Countries when their names are mentioned: the Dutch. (Screw the
Dutch!), the Belgians (Garrote the Belgians), and the Luxemburgers (Bugger
the 'Burgers!). 9) Special Rules:
We,
the foundational members of the Emily Chesley Circle, 29th day of October, 1999 in the City of London, Ontario,
