It's a mystery to me why the SAC board persists in making star party
liability such an issue. When I secured our insurance several years ago, I
provided them with specially written disclaimers from the insurance company
for various functions. Several board members refused to use them. Then
they secured new insurance last year which is double the price because they
refused to shop the market. Then they argued the high price of the
insurance. The Verde Valley group and the Flagstaff group got their
insurance after I secured the SAC insurance. It's an old story . . . a few
people controlling the activities of a larger group. How are you and Jenn
doing ? Peggy
