Item 8.01  Other Events
 
 
Change in 2009 Annual Meeting Date
 
Under Section 2.02 of the Community Bancorp. Amended and Restated Bylaws, the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company is to be held on the third Tuesday in May, unless the Board of Directors fixes a different date.  Pursuant to that authority, the Board has fixed Tuesday, May 12, 2009 as the date for the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders, rather than the third Tuesday (May 19).
 
 
Revised Deadline under Bylaw Section 2.13 for Submission of Director Nominations and Shareholder Proposals for the 2009 Annual Meeting
 
The Company’s advance notice bylaw requires submission of notice of shareholder proposals and nominations no earlier than 180 days, and no later than 120 days, before an annual meeting in order for such matters to be considered at the meeting.  However, the bylaws provide for a new deadline to be established for submission of notices by shareholders if the annual meeting is to be held on a date other than the third Tuesday in May.  Therefore, in accordance with Section 2.13 of the revised bylaws, a shareholder wishing to submit a proposal for action, or to nominate an individual for election as a director, at the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders to be held on May 12, 2009 has until the close of business on Monday, March 9, 2009 to submit the information required by Section 2.13, and to otherwise comply with the requirements of such bylaw.
