[crw-talk] Safety brought up

Tue Feb 18 09:54:38 CST 2025

As a board member I would certainly support continuing having adequate 
insurance .  It's really a no brainer.

Kernel of information, we had a demonstrator a decade ago or so who 
brought some very valuable tall hollow forms turned from box elder with 
thin walls.  (If I recall correctly, valued at $1500.00.)  One 
accidentally got knocked over and cracked, the claim was turned into our 
insurance and it was paid.  (After the adjuster tried to weasel out of 
paying.)
