- Change in liability coverage.
In an effort to further protect club members and the Club from
liability, during the February meeting the Club voted on, and approved,
an increase to liability coverage on all ski boats operating at the
club. Boat owners need to contact
their insurance company and request an increase in their coverage be
made, from $300,000 to $500,000 per occurrence. This should be accomplished by no
later than the corresponding premium renewal.
- Pre-meeting
dinner. Join other GMSC
Members and friends on June 10th for our pre-meeting BBQ dinner. Dinner will be at the north lot clubhouse
starting at 7:00 pm followed by the May meeting starting at 8:30 pm.
