Rescheduling an Annual Meeting

Hi, first time poster. Until now, just a lurker.
Our Bylaws expressly set the Annual Meeting date, time, and location. This year, the Board would like to revise the date by moving it one week forward to better align with schedules.
To accommodate, we are planning to call a Special Meeting for the desired date, noticing that business will be conducted to replace all the business normally done at the Annual Meeting, plus suspending the normally scheduled business meeting this year only as it would be redundant.
Admittedly a game, but has anyone else done something similar or have any opinions on the plan?
FYI, single-family HOA in WA state with 280 lots.

We've had to reschedule annual meetings & elections a couple of time over several years. Proper notice is sent out. We've still termed it an annual meeting and election.

I may not be following you, though. What is the "normally scheduled business meeting?" Is that simply a board meeting?

Whoops! " . . . nor more than 30 days . . .

Your Bylaws probably tell you how to call a Special Meeting. That said, Special Meeting requirements are typically different then the Annual Meeting requirements. I say do not play games. Just send out the proper notice for an Annual Meeting. Call it such even if one week early. Also it is possible your Bylaws say on or before so and so date versus on so and so date?
