MEETING AND SESSION.

29. A meeting is the coming together or assembling of the members of a society, or body, and covers only the time between the calling to order and an adjournment.

30. A session is the time, period, or term during which an assembly meets for the transaction of its business, and includes all the time between the first calling to order and the final adjournment.
