association for the purpose, or by a majority of the incorporators. The notice shall state the time, place and purposes of the meeting. A copy
of the notice shall, at least 7 days before the day appointed for the meeting, be given to each incorporator, or left at the incorporator's
residence or usual place of business, or deposited in the post office, postage prepaid, and addressed to the incorporator at his or her
residence or usual place of business, and another copy thereof and an affidavit of 1 of the incorporators that the notice has been duly served
shall be filed and recorded with the records of the corporation. If all the incorporators shall in writing, endorsed upon the articles of
association, waive such notice and fix the time and place of the meeting, no notice shall be required.
(b) At the first meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, the incorporators shall organize by the choice by ballot of a temporary secretary,

other officers as the bylaws may prescribe. All the officers so elected shall be sworn to the faithful performance of their duties. The
temporary secretary shall make and attest a record of the proceedings until the secretary has been chosen and sworn, including a record of
such choice and qualification.
