each member entitled thereto not less than ten (10) days nor more than fifty (50) days before each annual meeting, and shall specify the place, the day and hour of such meeting, and shall state such other matters, if any, as may be expressly required by statute. If this bylaw as to the time and place of election of directors is changed, such notice shall be given to members at least twenty (20) days prior to such meeting.
SECTION II. Special Meetings Special meetings of the members, for any purpose or purposes whatsoever, may be called at any time by the president or by the board of directors, or by members holding not less than thirty percent (30%) of the voting power of the corporation. Except in special cases where other express provision is made by statute, notice of such special meetings shall be given in the same manner as for annual meetings of members. Notices of any special meeting shall specify the place, day and hour of such meeting, and the general nature of the business to be transacted.
SECTION 12. Voting Unless the board of directors has fixed in advance by resolution a record date for purposes of determining entitlement to vote at the meeting the record date for such determination shall be as of the close of business on the day next preceding the date on which the meeting shall be held. Such vote may be viva voce or by ballot; provided, however, that all elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand made by a member at any election and before the voting begins. Each voting member shall have one (1) vote for directors and all other matters which may properly come before the members at any annual or special meeting.

Consent of Absentees The transactions of any meeting of members, either annual or special, however called and noticed, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the members entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of. notice, or a consent to the holding of such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
SECTION 15. Proxies Every person entitled to vote or execute consents shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy executed by such person or his duly authorized agent and filed with the secretary of the corporation; provided that no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of three (3) years from the date of its execution, unless the person executing it specified therein the length of time for which such proxy is to continue in force.
SECTION 16. Inspection of Corporate Records The membership ledger, the books of account, and minutes of proceedings of the members, the board of directors and of executive committees of directors shall be open to inspection upon the written demand
