My question is this....do we the homeowners call the meeting?
In a way. Your governing documents should specify how members may call a meeting of the membership. Typically it is done by circulating a petition calling for a meeting of the membership for the purpose of recalling Director xyz and, if successfully recalled, to elect a new Director.
Your governing documents should specify how many signatures are needed. Make sure that the signatures are only from members (not renters) and that you collect more than the minimum amount needed.
You would then send this petition, keeping a copy for yourself, to the Board via certified mail (so there is proof that the petition was received).

Who has to be there?
It would be a meeting of the membership. Therefore, the members of the Association would be there. If your Association allows proxies, then proxy representatives would also be there.
The meeting would be presided over by the President of the Association. Notice and quorum requirements must be met.

Do we contact the President and call for a Board meeting.
You contact the Board via the petition.

How do we have the meeting?
The meeting would be held just like the annual meeting. However, only two issues would be on the agenda:
1) Recalling Director/s
2) Electing new Director/s (if the recall was successful)

And by majority does that mean the neighborhood, or the people asking for the removal?
Per your citation [emphasis added]:
Any director of the Association maybe removed, with or without cause, by vote of the voting members with a majority vote
of the membership. So, if you have 100 members, you would need 51 votes to recall.
Hope this helps,
