$30.00 state fee; $10.00 annual fee;  required board of directors.  Advantage to avoid being sued as individuals.   Not for profit organization.  Tax & postage savings.

Financial disclosure to state required annually. 

Lois will contact the national ARRL.

 

Noel Taylor, N9CJT, will contact the Indiana ARRL for their thoughts and input on this.

Research will be ongoing to the December meeting.
