Jack handed the forms for the Chapter Status Report over to the Secretary and brought up the insurance premise issue.  It was agreed that the premise be based on $1M for a <6500 sq. ft. clubhouse, which will cost the chapter $271 for a total fee of $321 for 2009.  Jack will write the check to be submitted with the report.  Patrick gathered the officer information and will be preparing the report to be submitted as soon as possible before the January 30th deadline.
