Excerpt from the Bylaws

Why doesn't the Society use "Roberts Rules of Order" as a meeting guide?: Since we are a group of people attempting to provide a better Santa Claus experience for children, it is in our interest to see that we conduct ourselves to follow the models of Santa Claus and St. Nicholas in our own behavior and conduct.; Therefore, when making decisions that affect our group, we strive to reach a consensus of agreement. We realize that though this may require a longer process, the result will be a win-win rather than a win-lose.; Consequently, every important decision we make as a group requires a minimum of two-thirds (2/3) majority of those present and voting in order to pass.
