| New Club Indemnity Waiver
|
|
Seeking legal advice on the issue of liability, Board Officers met with a liability attorney.
We discovered the most effective way to reduce liability risk in organizations such as ours was to
have every board member and any event host take the time to review and set the liability
portion of their Homeowners Insurance policy to at least $500,000. In addition, we were
advised to have all members (and guests at hosted events) sign a Release of Liability Waiver Form
(see links below). The club will commence this process starting with the upcoming summer picnic on Sunday, July 20th.
This waiver will be required for attendance. Our eventual goal will be to have the waiver signed only once every year,
typically upon the annual payment of dues by the membership. We?re hoping to keep this as simple as possible.
We appreciate your understanding and support on this matter.

| Newport Amateur Wine Competition Scores Withheld- Update
|
|
The WSWC sent a letter to the Newport Chamber of Commerce regarding the withheld
judging notes. Festival Coordinator Sue Cummings has responded by sending letters of
apology to all competitors. She conveyed appreciation for our input and let us know that the
committee is already at work on the 2009 festival. They are paying close attention to
coordinating the amateur competition, and hope that we will submit entries again in 2009.
Only one bottle per entry will be required next year.
