(a) A corporation shall give notice consistent with its charter or bylaws of meetings of members in a fair and reasonable manner.
(b) Any notice which conforms to the requirements of subsection (c) is fair and reasonable, but other means of giving notice may also be fair and reasonable when all the circumstances are considered.
(c) Notice is fair and reasonable if:
(1) The corporation notifies its members of the place, date and time of each annual and special meeting of members no fewer than ten (10) days nor more than two (2) months before the meeting date;
(2) Notice of an annual meeting includes a description of any matter or matters which must be approved by the members under § 48-58-302, § 48-58-507, § 48-60-103, § 48-60-202, § 48-61-103, § 48-62-102 or § 48-64-102; and

(2) The request is received by the secretary or president of the corporation at least ten (10) days before the corporation gives notice of the meeting.
(f) A certificate of the secretary or other person giving the notice that the notice required by this section has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
