R.I. Gen. Laws § 7-6-18: Meetings of members.

(a) Meetings of members may be held at any place, either within or without this state, that is provided in the bylaws. In the absence of any provision, all meetings shall be held at the registered office of the corporation in this state.

(b) An annual meeting of the members shall be held at the time that is provided in the bylaws. Failure to hold the annual meeting at the designated time does not work a forfeiture or dissolution of the corporation.

(c) Special meetings of the members may be called by the president or by the board of directors. Special meetings of the members may also be called by any other officers or persons or number or proportion of members that is provided in the articles of incorporation or the bylaws. In the absence of a provision fixing the number or proportion of members entitled to call a meeting, a special meeting of members may be called by members having one-twentieth (1/20) of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.
