EXHIBIT “D"

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF THE

CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS OF THE

FRENCH BRITTANY GUN DOG ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, INC.


Pursuant the Constitution and Bylaws of the French Brittany Gun Dog Association of America, Inc. effective April 1, 2006, the Board of Directors hereby gives formal notice to the membership of a recommendation by the Board of Directors to amend the Constitution and Bylaws as follows:

Article I of the Constitution shall be amended to provide specifically as follows:

“This Corporation and its association of members shall be known as “Club de l’Epagneul Breton of the United States, Inc.”  The official corporate emblem/logo of the Corporation shall be as depicted in Exhibit “A-1” and Exhibit “A-2” attached to this Constitution and Bylaws.”


Exhibit “A-1” Exhibit “A-2”


                    
Explanation of Proposed Change and Amended Balloting:

 

The proposed constitutional amendment shall become legally effective immediately upon ratification by the membership.  In July of 2008 ballots were mailed to the membership to ratify a previous and slightly different recommended change of corporate name and adoption of a new and updated corporate emblem and logo. Subsequent to the mailing of those ballots in July, additional recommendations were made by club members and friends of the club concerning the proper French translation of the official corporate name. It was suggested at that time that the official name of the club be amended to “Club de l’Epagneul Breton of the United States, Inc.”  Some additional recommendations were also made concerning further refinement of the drawing of the fictional representative of the Epagneul Breton breed as depicted in the proposed new corporate emblem/logo. The Board of Directors deemed those suggestions concerning the proper name of the Corporation and the design of the club emblem/logo to be meritorious and proper.  Accordingly, the Board took prompt official action to resolve to amend the previous resolution passed in June 2008 and has formally recommended adoption of the changes to the Constitution as reflected above.  The Board took further official action to rescind the previous balloting and to nullify the results of the ballots previously mailed to the membership on July 15, 2008, so that new ballots could decide the issue.  New ballots will be sent to the membership in August to vote upon and to ratify the recommended changes explained herein.  The Board of Directors encourages you to complete, sign and return the new amended ballots by U.S. Mail no later than September 15, 2008, so that your ballot may be counted.  The results of the balloted election will be determined based on the amended ballots to be mailed in August and will be reported to the membership on or shortly following October 1, 2008.
