Need Insurance Expertise

Dear Club Members,

Is there anyone out there with experience with insurance, or broker of insurance? The club could really use some of your help in a consulting role. There would not be much time involved.

This has to do with interpreting the insurance requirements in our current agreement with King County Parks, and making decisions on requirements for contracts with the contractors who will build the new storage shed and charging station for us.

Thanks!

Mowing Schedule

The field is closed to flying when mowing is in progress. Mowing must take precedence when our volunteer groundskeepers come to the field to mow.
When permitted by weather and availability of our volunteers, mowing is scheduled at these times:

Monday or Tuesday Mowing 11:30 am - 1:00 pm.

Friday Mowing 3:00-5:00 pm

Tuesday weed patrol morning, short interruption

When mowing must happen outside this schedule, we will post a news item on our Home page. We'll also try to send an email to you, but note that our mailing system takes several hours to reach all members.
