Re: [AISdiscuss] 2006 Spring Insurance Report

Clarence you are exactly right and especially your last paragraph.  At the convention is the time to get more ideas of the cooperation that will be received.

My region does not use the insurance.  So far where most are having shows they are covered with something else.  I have 8 affiliates and 4 did not even have shows this year, 1 never does.
