annual meeting, the names of any trustees whose successors are to be

elected thereat, and, if a special meeting, specifying the business to

be transacted thereat, to be served, either personally or by mail, upon

meeting, not less than ten nor more than forty days before the meeting.

If mailed, the notice shall be directed to each qualified voter entitled

to notice at his address as it appears on the books or records of the

church or society.
