Society status
No one has investigated further costs/requirements for being registered appropriately for gaming licenses.
INSURANCE
Do we need Liability Insurance?
- Odds of injury during practice, parade or performance is LOW for the cost of the coverage. Especially with our limited performances.
- Insurance doesn’t cover instruments. Cost of instruments was basically $1/year for every $1 covered so self insurance is the way to go.
Robbie Burns
As always it is almost time to start planning for Robbie Burns. This year could be particularly challenging with COVID restrictions.
Pipe Major
ATTENDANCE
Reminder for members to commit to attend practices.
