New Business:
Curt Neises with Northstar Insurance did our annual insurance review. Thankfully our premium will remain the same with no increase for this next year. He suggested to consider adding Board Coverage at a cost of $1500-2000/year. No decision was made on that.

Discussed what we could do for possible future events. Some possiblities included Halloween party, chili cookoff with raffle, wild game feed, talent show with ice cream social, bingo night with prizes, and chase the ace. If anyone has any other suggestions please contact a OCC board member.
Heat Exchanger in the lobby and kitchen as a crack. Larry will check on pricing to replace it.
