We have a Club meeting tonight, 6:00 at 1405 Highland Drive. Bring meat to grill, a side and some beverages.
Aside from hanging out (which we do well) we have some business to decided on (which we don't do so well.) Basically the issue is as follows:
- The Lion's Club is requiring that we carry insurance, which is going to be $450-$500 per year.
- We only have around 20 members, and at $20/membership we have to dip into the league fees to even afford the insurance.
- If we get the insurance, we will have zero-zip-nada-none-no money left to buy merch to run events. We will have to bring in a vendor like DGM to hold even a little event.
- Once the merch is handled by an outside vendor, we will make zero-zip-nada-none-no money off events. If you figure in the sponsorship we will have to get, running events will cost us money. Unless we get a significant spike in membership, we will run in the red.
- If we continue to be an official club and don't get insurance, we can PDGA sanction events and cover tournaments. The Saturday morning league will be dead.
