§432:2-202  Location of office, meetings,
communications to members, grievance procedures.  (a)  The principal office
of any domestic society shall be located in this State.  The meetings of its
supreme governing body may be held in any state, district, province or
territory wherein such society has at least one subordinate lodge, or in such
other location as determined by the supreme governing body.  All business
transacted at such meetings shall be as valid in all respects as if such
meetings were held in this State.  The minutes of the proceedings of the
supreme governing body and of the board of directors shall be in the English
language.



  (b)(1)  A society may provide in its laws for an official
publication in which any notice, report, or statement required by law to be
given to members, including notice of election, may be published.  Such
required reports, notices and statements shall be printed conspicuously in the
publication.  If the records of a society show that two or more members have
the same mailing address, an official publication mailed to one member is
deemed to be mailed to all members at the same address unless a member requests
a separate copy.



(2)  Not later than June 1 of each year, a synopsis of
the society's annual statement providing an explanation of the facts concerning
the condition of the society thereby disclosed shall be printed and mailed to
each benefit member of the society or, in lieu thereof, such synopsis may be
published in the society's official publication.



(c)  A society may provide in its laws or rules
for grievance or complaint procedures for members. [L 1987, c 347, pt of §2]
