What should a club do about record retention?

Question: Can you give us some guidelines regarding how long we should keep our records?

Answer: You should keep records of your chartering, your Annual Meetings and Annual Financial Statements for a minimum of seven years (although these are generally kept in perpetuity). Notes on regular events, newsletters, etc. are generally kept for a year or two, unless you keep a historical record of the Clubs activities', in which case they would be part of the historical document...
