§421-12  General and special meetings; how
called.  Within thirty days after the incorporation of an association the
members thereof shall hold an organization meeting at a time and place fixed by
the temporary board of directors.  Not less than ten days' written notice
thereof shall be given to each member.  An association may provide in its
bylaws for one or more regular meetings each year, which may be held within the
State at the time and place designated in the bylaws.  Special meetings of the
members may be called by the board of directors, and it shall be their duty to
call the meetings when ten per cent of the members file with the secretary a
petition demanding a special meeting and specifying the business to be
considered at the meeting.  Notice of all meetings, except as otherwise
provided by law or the articles or bylaws, shall be mailed to each member at
least ten days prior to the meeting, and in case of special meetings the notice
shall state the purposes for which it is called, but the bylaws may require
that all notices, except of proposed amendments to the articles shall be given
by publication, in a periodical published by or for the association, to which
substantially all its members are subscribers, or in a newspaper or newspapers
whose combined circulation is general in the State in which the association
operates. [L 1949, c 234, pt of §1; RL 1955, §176-13; HRS §421-12]
