insurance policy or a copy of an event policy be provided for anyone \vho rents the tmvn hall.

John Sanquenetti was upset with this request, he said that trying to enforce this would be a big

mess. Henry stated that we are covered but depending but depending on what our deductible is

renting the hall for $50 or $75.00 may not cover the deductible if something should happen.

now. John asked how he is to proceed with renting the hall after the first of the year till the next

discussion , Larry said we will get back with Dave and see how other places handle this
