Re: Lawyer sez

[Kathy Olson <kathy@thekrib.com>]

I would like to know what insurance would cost?  I think it is worth 
checking into.  Shoot if it is cheap I would pitch in personally, and not 
use AGA money.  My concern of course is that it is not.  I can hope, after 
all....we hold no meetings, the conventions are at hotels with insurance, 
so overall we are pretty low risk.  I know the NEC carries insurance for 
the clubs in the area, I wonder what that costs??

thanks,
Kathy
