If they cancel that they are, in all practical ways, disenfranchising the membership. I don't know anything--I'm just saying it could be done,but of course the Board is going to use "common sense" and hold the Annual meeting even if NO notice had been sent out. It is just, that this live or die attitude towards going against By-Laws has become way out of proportion.. It's like Robert's Rules. You can find a rule to make or stop anything you want A smart person uses them wisely ,but they can be used wrongly also. Common sense must prevail,and it seems a small group has lost it's common sense.
