I composed this reply yesterday, but forgot to hit send... Looks like
Kathy beat me to the punch.  But FWIW, here's what I was going to say:

As I mentioned in a private e-mail, I appreciate that you tried.

Make no mistake, the club is still very much running crippled, with only
skeletal leadership right now.  We've basically had enough energy to run
the meetings and auctions, and that's about it.  The *last* thing I think
any of us want to do right now is come up with new bylaws, re-incorporate,
etc.  It's a lot of work, and fairly painful, and might be a straw that
breaks the board's back right now.

Steve at least will remember correctly from the time we just wanted to
file for a new tax ID number.  The AGA is going through the process right
now, and it's taking forever just to decide whether or not the general
membership can vote for the steering committee members.

I will be checking with Rich and Diane to see if there's ANY chance they
have the original bylaws.
