Regular meetings of the association shall be held at any places and at any times that the bylaws prescribe. The board of directors may hold special and adjourned meetings and may call a special meeting of the association at any time. Ten percent (10%) of the members may file a petition stating the specific business to be brought before the association and demand a special meeting at any time. The meeting must at that time be called by the directors. Notice of all meetings, together with a statement of the purposes of the meeting, shall be mailed to each member at least five (5) days prior to the meeting.
