Thus if there are at least three Board Members, if one leaves the room -
the last two can call a meeting, see that there is no quorum, send
notice to the third, adjourn the meeting and then after at least 24
hours, conduct a meeting in quorum assuming then that there are at least
three Board members. If this happens - it must be minuted.

Hi Owen,
Well - it depends. If a non-quorate meeting was called and then
adjourned for 24 hours and reconvened they would gain quorum under the
bylaws.
The question becomes - and this is where I am uncertain and believe it
is open to debate - can a meeting be called knowing full well that
quorum cannot be there and then adjourned for 24 hours to gain quorum
- thereby deliberately exploiting a loophole. It is one thing to call
a meeting thinking you would have quorum - not getting it - adjourning
for 24 hours and then gaining quorum after giving notice to the absent
directors. It is another thing entirely to call a meeting knowing
full well quorum could not be met and having no one to give notice to.
Either way at bare minimum a meeting would have had to be called -
adjourned 24 hours - and then reconvened to be quorate. This would
have to be minuted. The board has been silent on if this process was
followed despite members asking the question. Once again we face a
situation where this organization is not answering legitimate
questions from its members - and to me that is even more troublesome
than the quorum issue.
Furthermore - last I checked the board of directors page online had
updated the chair and vice chair but was still showing the old
directors listed as current - why has that not been updated to show
the vacant seats accordingly

How did the board hold a meeting given that they cannot field a quorum
after the AGMM?
