Liability Insurance: Discussion was held on whether the club members thought the club should obtain liability insurance. Concern was raised about the low coverage on Medical Expense Limit (Any One Person).

Motion was made to authorize the Treasurer to spend the money to obtain liability insurance for the club. Motion was seconded and passed.
