However, if the association has less than 100 members, it shall have as members at least a majority of the eligible persons or licensees in the geographic area served by the particular association. The members of that unincorporated association are not individually or personally liable for debts or liabilities contracted or incurred by the association in the acquisition of lands or leases or the purchase, leasing, construction, repairing or furnishing of buildings or other structures to be used for the purposes of the association or for debts or liabilities contracted or incurred by the association in the carrying out or performance of any of its purposes; provided, that the purposes are within the purposes stated in Section 18020.
