ing, to each member entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such

Notice of a members’ meeting to act on an amendment of the articles
of incorporation or on a plan of merger or consolidation shall be delivered

more than fifty days before the date of the meeting. Any such notice that
is mailed shall be accompanied by a copy of the proposed amendment or
plan of merger or consolidation or a summary thereof and any such notice
that is published shall state that copies of the proposed articles of amend-
ment or plan of merger or consolidation will be supplied to members on
request.
