Minutes

Stephanie brought up need for club to switch from swipe based CC capture devices to newer chip readers.  Cost is $50 per unit.  Liability issues will crop up if we continue to use stripe readers.

Motion to purchase 2 readers (one for merch and one for other uses) for cost not to exceed $115 approved.

Mag stripe readers should only be used if chips are not present on customers cards.
