How is 2/3rds of 108 equal to 36?

Anyway, it doesn't sound like your association is organized as a statutory road association, so it's your governing documents which will control how the association operates.

Why do you think you have so much trouble achieving a quorum? Do you impress on the members the importance of attending or assigning a proxy? Do you make it easy for them to assign their proxy, perhaps to the association Secretary or other official?  If many of your members are seasonal residents, are you scheduling your meetings during a time when the maximum number of members will be present?

How do you manage to adopt a budget or elect officers from year to year if you are unable to achieve a quorum?

When you finally are able to get a quorum, I suggest the first order of business should be to set your quorum to the number of members present at any meeting.
