Bylaw Amendments 2025

The Club’s bylaws have not been updated since 2010. Since then, there have been changes in the Washington State Nonprofit Corporation Law, which governs the Club, changes in technology, and changes in the Club’s operations, all of which ought to be reflected in our bylaws.

A copy of the proposed bylaw changes has been emailed to all current members, and we will be introducing the proposed changes at the March 18 General Membership Meeting. The Board expects to ask the membership to vote to approve the final wording of the changes at our Fall 2025 General Membership Meeting. One important change we are proposing is to streamline the bylaw amendment procedure!

A complete copy of the bylaws, with the proposed changes shown in track changes, is here.

A brief explanation of each change and the reasoning behind it is here.

My Newport Hills Story

We launched a new section called “My Newport Hills Story” It’s a community history project, where we collect stories from Newport Hills residents. Please take a look and let us know what you think. This is just a beginning, and we’d love to collect more stories. You can share: how you chose Newport Hills to live; what you like about this neighborhood; and any interesting stories about you and your community. Or you can nominate someone for an interview.

Cumin-Baked Pork Chops

Ingredients

4 8-ounce pork chops (bone-in, and not the real thick ones)
kosher salt
black pepper
olive oil (or other cooking oil) to brown the chops in
4 tablespoons grainy mustard (Dijon, Gulden’s etc.)S
2 tablespoons crushed cumin seeds or ground cumin

Preparation

Brine the pork chops (3 tablespoons salt in 1 quart of water in a Ziploc bag) for 45 minutes. Drain and dry thoroughly, then sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the pork chops and brown for 2 minutes on each side. Remove and let cool slightly.

Combine the mustard and cumin, then coat each pork chop on both sides with this paste. Put the chops back into the cast-iron skillet and put the skillet into the oven. Bake until the chops are just cooked through – check at 8 minutes for thinnish chops.
