Our bylaws specify that the officers are elected at the Annual Meeting, and that the budget is passed at the first Membership Meeting after the Annual Meeting. So our typical procedure is to hold the Annual Meeting, elect officers, close the Annual Meeting, and then open the first Membership Meeting of the year.
Here's the sequence of events...
The president opened the annual meeting. We had a brief discussion, and then voted on an amendment to the bylaws. It was approved, and we were going to proceed to election of officers (most were unopposed). Our parliamentarian then rose and asked for a quorum call. It was determined we were 20 folks shy (131 out of 151). So we passed a motion to hold the meeting in abeyance while we attempted to get other members to come to the meeting. We then opened the Membership Meeting (which required only 90 people) and presented the budget. But we couldn't vote on the budget because approval requires 5% (150). We conducted another quorum call, and we were up to 140 people, but still short. So we adjourned the Membership Meeting. I don't know that we actually adjourned the Annual Meeting. We did not set a date for the new Annual Meeting.
