Jim,
I'm glad you are coming to our meeting because a lot of your questions will and should be discussed.

Jerry Rowley our past President had our club incorperated in Alabama and it is posted on our web site for those that would like to read about it. I also checked into liability insurance for our club and will have that info with me but you won't like the results.
See you on Saturday.
Dan
