In case you are unaware, the Bylaws of the AARC require that members sign a 'waiver' before joining.  Its basic boiler plate that says you know ham radio can be dangerous and if you engage in club activites you will accept the risk, and not sue the club if you are injured. 

Though the Bylaws don't say so, individuals under 18 likely can't sue the Club.  The parent would have to do that for them.  Therefore, and I coiuld be wrong, I will assume the 'Waiver' doesn't need the signature of any member under 18.  At some point we need to run that by an attorney.
