Your questions are mostly regarding legal issues, not accounting or tax issues. I cannot give legal advice since I am not a lawyer, I’m an accountant. And, honestly I don’t know how to answer your questions since I don’t know what state you are in nor what your bylaws say!
Of course, it’s advisable to have Articles of Assoc, especially if your bylaws to not address the topics covered in Articles of Association.
And it is also advisable to follow some rules like Roberts Rules of Order in making motions, discussions, voting, etc.
I recommend you contact HSLDA with your questions. They can answer them better than i can.

We want to update and revise our bylaws. The amendment process in the bylaws simply states amending can be done by the BoD when each member of the BoD is given 10 days notice. Do we need Articles of Association? Do we have to follow an otherwise set procedure of amending or recording the changes made (such as Roberts Rules of Order or state legal requirements)?

You are not required to incorporate (i.e. form a nonprofit corporation) in your state. And it is unlikely that a craft social club would be come a nonprofit corporation. You can remain an unincorporated association.

Thanks
