BYLAWS CONTINUED
ARTICLE V
MEMBERSHIP
   Membership in the IGAHR shall be strictly limited to persons who:
          1. Are able to identify the United States of America on a world map.
          2. Do not ring handbells for a living.
          3. Know the difference between a brush damp and a table damp.   
ARTICLE VI
TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP
    Members may be terminated at the sole discretion of the musical director and shall be notified through their next of kin or church bulletin at the next occurring Sunday worship service.  Termination decisions of the musical director shall not be subject to appeal to the officers or any other quasi-judicial, wannabe tribunal.
ARTICLE VII
BOOKS AND RECORDS
    The IGAHR shall keep two sets of books -- "accurate" books and "cooked books."  The books shall include, where appropriate, all bell assignments.

     The IGAHR no longer keeps records--it has switched to CD format.
ARTICLE VIII
COMPENSATION AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
    The officers of the IGAHR should not have any expectation about ever receiving any compensation from performing their duties to the IGAHR.  Uncommunicated gratitude shall be their sole reward.

     Family members of the officers are strongly encouraged to develop as many conflicts of interest as possible so that the officers will not continue to waste their time and effort on the activities of the IGAHR.
ARTICLE IX
SEAL AND MOTTO
    The official seal of the IGAHR shall consist of a reasonable facsimile of the "Liberty Bell," positioned upside down, which has below it the initials of the organization and around it, in a circle, the full name of the organization.  The font shall be the color of an unwashed, handbell practice glove (i.e. dirt brown).

     The official motto of the IGAHR shall be: "Untying People Through a Musical Farce."
