BYLAWS
ARTICLE I
PRE-RAMBLE
    This article gives the incorporators of the Irreverent Guild of American Handbell Ringers (hereinafter referred to as "IGAHR") a chance to ramble on a bit before they really begin to ramble in the main articles of these Bylaws.
ARTICLE II
PURPOSE
    The primary (as in juvenile) purpose of the IGAHR is to celebrate the sheer joy and exhilaration of ringing handbells in a typically brash, energetic and enthusiastic American style.
ARTICLE III
OFFICERS
    The officers of the IGAHR shall consist of two (2) Co-Presidents who must be either:
          1.  a successful bell ringing lawyer with time to fritter away on IGAHR business and webdesign; or
          2.  a misguided bell ringing music teacher who actually thinks he is promoting music education by writing for and associating with the IGAHR.

     The IGAHR shall have a music director, who shall be Frankie "Mallets" Martelato, the leader (one might even call him a director) of the annual Organized Crime Ring in the United States of America, until he dies, is dismembered or is otherwise incapable of serving in that capacity, in which event, a succesor shall be elected. 
ARTICLE IV
ELECTION
    The officers and musical director of the IGAHR shall be elected as follows:
          (1)  The musical director elects himself.
          (2)  After the membership votes, the musical director announces who he wants as officers.
