     (2) Special meetings of the members may be called by the board of trustees, by any three trustees, by not less than 20% of the members, or by the president.
     (3) Meetings of members must be held at a place designated in the bylaws. In the absence of a provision in the bylaws that designates a meeting place, all meetings must be held at a place determined by the board of trustees.
     (4) Except as otherwise provided, written or printed notice stating the time and place of each meeting of members and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called must be given to each member, either personally or by mail, not less than 10 or more than 25 days before the date of the meeting.
     (5) Five percent of all members present in person or 50 members present in person, whichever is fewer, constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the members, but the bylaws may prescribe the presence of a greater percentage or number of the members for a quorum. If less than a quorum is present at a meeting, a majority of those present in person may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.
     (6) Each member is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting. Voting must be in person but, if the bylaws allow, voting may also be by proxy or by mail, or both, or if the bylaws allow, by the method provided in 35-19-309. If the bylaws provide for voting by proxy or by mail, the bylaws must also prescribe the conditions under which proxy or mail voting or both are to be exercised. In any event, a person may not vote as a proxy for more than three members at a meeting of the members.
