The notice shall state the time, place, and purposes of the meeting. A copy of the notice shall, at least seven (7) days before the day appointed for the meeting, be given to each subscriber or left at the subscriber's residence, and an affidavit of a majority of the signers of the notice that the notice has been served shall be recorded with the records of the first meeting.
