Special memberships will not be granted voting privileges and may be granted privileges and terms unique to the circumstances as specified in the authorizing resolution.”
Amended 7.01 to add distribution of notice by electronic communications so that it will then read “A Special Meeting of the members may be called at any time by the President or by a majority of the Board of directors. Upon receipt of a specification in writing, setting forth the date and objects of such proposed Special Meeting and signed by the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary shall prepare, sign and mail or distribute by electronic communications the notices requisite to such meeting, consistent with the notice requirements of the Annual Meeting.

A committee shall be appointed to review proposals and submit its recommendation for adoption, non-adoption, or revision within 90 days of the initial referral. A proposal shall be adopted upon voting approval of a majority of the board of Directors.”
Amend the closing of the bylaws to reflect amendment and restatement so that the closing will then read “These bylaws were originally approved and accepted on the 2nd day of June, 1997 and are amended and restated on this 14th day of June, 2011.”
