*4Th of July parade participation was brought up by Mody – Nancylou said we can’t do that because we don’t have insurance yet

*Nancylou expressed the need to not hold any more meetings until we have insurance because of liability issues

*it was mentioned that the school would have insurance to cover the event but the issue that BOD members can still be sued as individuals was again brought up

*George will contact several companies to get prices for insurance to alleviate this situation concerning insurance risks

*Nancylou will notify the Gathering members about the change of date of the event and that the June and August meetings will be cancelled because of no insurance

*George told us he made contact with the Friends of the Arts and Marian Rabe and John Mayo will be sending requested paperwork to him soon after school is over for this year

*George requested that Nancylou proceed with the June 21 Gathering date to see if people are interested in participating in the July 4th parade, he will get insurance for the CCC before this date so the concerns expressed by some BOD members are alleviated
