John,
Our local Triumph club looked into that several years ago.  We found that 
non-profit organizations were pretty much safe from frivolous (or any kind, 
actually) litigation.  However, this is Pennsylvania and you're in VA(?), 
so, your best bet would be to spend a few bucks with a local attorney to 
determine your actual exposure.  That way, you can make a genuinely informed 
decision.
Good luck.
Bud Osborne
