Generally, that is what they say.

Depending on how formal the club is, there may be a sergeant at arms (acts much like a bailiff in a courtroom) who introduces the president or chair of the organization. But not all meetings do it this way. Then the president or chair may give an introduction and then they state that they are calling the meeting to order. From there, they might call the secretary to read the minutes of the last meeting. And then someone makes a motion to accept the minutes as read and someone seconds. Then the chair continues onto asking the secretary if there is new business. From there, the floor is often opened for discussion of the new items, and if anything that is discussed needs a vote, then that is done.
