GCS Members Approve Two Charter Changes

More than 5000 members of Greenbelt Consumer Services have voted, most of them favorably, in an election on two proposed changes in the cooperative's charter. One change would raise from one million to 50 million dollars the limit on the amount of capital stock that can be issued. The other would remove from the charter a thousand-dollar limitation on the amount of co-op stock an individual member may own although this provision will remain in effect in the by-laws.

Both changes will be effected at a recessed annual meeting on Friday, July 20, at 8 p.m. in the GCS offices.

In another development the board of directors re-elected the co-op's officers for another one-year term.
