Notice must be given not earlier than sixty (60) days or less than ten (10) days before the meeting date, and may be given personally, by first class mail, or by electronic mail, by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or their designee(s) or, the persons calling the meeting.

A member's attendance at a meeting waives the right to object to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the member objects to holding the meeting at the beginning of the meeting. A member's attendance at a meeting also waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the member objects to considering the matter when it is presented.
3.5 Members of Record. The persons entitled to receive notice of or to vote at any members' meeting will be those persons designated as members in the membership books of the corporation at the close of business on the day prior to the date the notice is mailed or otherwise transmitted, or on such other date as determined in advance by the Board of Directors, which date may not be more than seventy (70) or less than ten (10) days before the meeting.

The members' list must be available, at the corporation's principal office, for inspection by any member, or the member's agent or attorney, beginning two (2) business days after notice of the meeting is given and continuing through the meeting.
3.7 Quorum.
3.7.1 Required Quorum. A majority of the members entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at any members' meeting. If a person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, the shares held by that person or represented by a proxy given to that person will not be included for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Once a member is represented for any purpose at a meeting, other than for the purpose of objecting as provided above, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and any adjournment thereof, unless a new notice is or must be given for the adjourned meeting or a new record date must be set for the meeting. The persons present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough persons to leave less than a quorum.
3.7.2 Adjournment to Obtain Quorum. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the members represented in person or by proxy may, subject to the requirements of notice and record date set forth in these bylaws, adjourn a members' meeting from time to time until a quorum attends. Any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting may be transacted at the adjourned meeting if a quorum exists.

Such proxy will be effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent of the corporation authorized, by these bylaws or by the Board of Directors, to tabulate votes. No proxy will be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless a longer period is expressly provided in the proxy.
3.8.3 Membership Owned by Corporations. Membership held in the name of another corporation may be voted by such officer, agent, or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of the corporation holding the shares may determine.
3.8.4 Membership Held by Fiduciary. Membership held by a personal representative, administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator may be voted by that person, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such membership into the name of that person. Membership held in the name of a trustee may be voted by the trustee, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee is entitled to vote without a transfer of such membership into the name of the trustee.
3.8.5 Membership Held by Receiver. Membership standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by the receiver, and membership held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by the receiver without being transferred into the receiver's name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which the receiver was appointed.
3.8.6 Rejection of Vote. The corporation is entitled to reject a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment if the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt about the validity of the signature on it or about the signor's authority to sign for the member.
3.9 Member Decisions.
3.9.1 Majority Vote. When a quorum is present or represented at any members' meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter, action on any matter, other than the election of directors and the alteration, amendment or repeal of these bylaws, is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the vote of a greater number is required by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these bylaws, in which case the contrary provision is controlling.

The number of director candidates equal to the number of directors to be elected who receive the largest number of votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a members' meeting at which a quorum is present will be elected to serve as members of the Board of Directors. Cumulative voting is permitted. Accordingly, each member is entitled to cast that number of votes as equals the number of directors to be elected. All votes of a single member may be cast for a single candidate or allocated among candidates as the member chooses.
3.9.3 Member Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a members' meeting may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all of the members entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof and the consent is delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minute book.
