The purpose of a notice of meeting is to give you advance warning. This is so you can make sure you are free for the meeting.

One way to make a meeting fun is to put little cups of play dough on the tables. If your group is a more serious time than do a small activity in the middle of the meeting like a fun trivia game that will be fun and informational meeting.
The executor can make a claim against the estate for expenses. The probate court will have to approve. The expenses have to be reasonable and normal.
When you approve funds in CEFMS, you are giving the green light for those dollars to be spent. It's like saying, "Go ahead and make it rain, but make sure it's for a good cause." So, basically, you're the budget boss signing off on where the money goes.
Minutes, in this case, are a record of the proceedings and decisions of a committee. Usually the first item of an agenda is the vote to accept the previous meetings minutes as accurate.
Yes, the chair can make a motion in a meeting. As the individual responsible for facilitating the meeting and maintaining order, the chair can contribute to the discussion by proposing motions for the group to consider and vote on.
The Chairperson, Seargent at Arms, MC, etc does this... You first ask if any amendments need to be made to minutes. If there are none you make a motion to accept the minutes as presented. All in favor vote. All opposed vote. Record the votes (indictaing who voted & how) in the current meeting minutes. Done.
To make a motion at a meeting is to make a verbal proposal. Motions can be made for any reason, including suggesting a new idea for the group or even something as simple as drawing the meeting to a close.
Probably not. Minutes are legal documents the represent conduct of the business of the association. Board vote is required to approve minutes, so potentially, if the board votes to approve 'non-representative meeting minutes' this vote is documented. Any dissention, by a board member or an observant owner should be documented as well. Boards that approve 'rewritten history'-type minutes make themselves inherently untrustworthy, by some accounts. Your association counsel can offer more particular remedies and opinions in your specific case.

When the secetary of any organization reads her minutes can she put them in a for of a motion? and why she can't?
Any member recognized by the facilitator may make a motion. Following a second, the group discusses the motion. When discussion ends, the motion is voted on.
First you need to have standing (permission) to rise and speak, let alone make a motion at a meeting. For example, at a public meeting of a planning commission, only the commissioners can make a motion, although the chairperson of the meeting may (at his or her discretion) recognize a member of the public provide input on an issue prior to taking a vote. A recognized member (or alternate voting delegate) may make a motion, at the proper time, by simply saying, "I would like to make the following motion", and then continuing with his or her idea. Many times it is less formal, such as "I move that we accept the minutes as read", or "I make a motion that we suspend the rules and waive the reading of the treasurer's report." The chairperson may immediately rule you "out of order" for a number of reasons, and ask you to sit down and be quiet. At the proper time, you may again attempt to make a motion. After that, there is typically a "second" to the motion, or (if no second) a very uncomfortable pause while the motion fails to even elicit support of one other member (it is very embarrassing when this happens, and sometimes results in immediate resignation by the member whose motion was not seconded). Once the motion has been seconded, the chairperson can ask for any discussion, which may include a motion to amend the primary motion, or a motion to withdraw (or suspend action upon) the primary motion, among other things. Eventually, any motion not tabled or withdrawn must be voted upon, or the meeting suspended (adjourned) until further information can be obtained by those who wish to continue discussing it before voting...
The person taking/typing the meeting minutes should present a draft of the minutes to the person responsible for approving (or signing off on) the minutes. That person should review the draft, make corrections, and return to the typist to produce the corrected minutes.
Apologies: someone who can't make the meeting and informs the host prior to the meeting. Absent: someone who doesn't attend the meeting and did not let the host know.
Yes, any member of a group that is following Robert's Rules of Order can make a motion during a meeting. The motion should be stated clearly and then be seconded by another member before it can be discussed and voted on by the group.
