Attendance at a meeting of the Members, in person or by proxy, without protesting such meeting prior to its conclusion shall constitute a waiver of notice.
(c) Quorum, Adjournment of Meetings. At all meetings of the Members, including the Annual Meeting, at least one hundred (100) Members entitled to vote thereat or one-tenth of the Membership entitled to vote thereat, whichever is lesser, shall be present in person or by proxy to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

Payment of outstanding dues will reinstate an “inactive” Member. Such reinstated Member will then receive all journals for the period during which such Member was “inactive”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Honorary Members nor Member Emeritus, while retired, are required to pay dues and, thus shall not be considered to be “inactive” for failure to pay dues required hereby. Honorary Members and Members Emeritus, while retired, have the option to pay to receive all journals.
