Ladies of the Household, Units, and Clubs,
We received a letter with information to consider should your group opt to have fundraisers in the current state of affairs. In light of this pandemic, our Nile insurance carrier has circulated the following very important information to consider:
When you say “every precaution” is being taken, question the points of this list. Does it include these points?
1. Will all the organizers be tested and receive results prior to the event?
2. Will you ensure 6 feet of space between attendees?
3. Is the venue disinfected prior to the event?
4. Will you require wearing of masks?
5. Are you taking the temperature of attendees at the entrance?
6. Have you considered the number of attendees and does it exceed the “crowd” guidelines?
The Chairman of the Supreme Insurance Committee, Georganne Rodgers-Garn, PQ, assures us the carrier will defend a suit but in order to have an affirmative defense, we will need documentation on all the above. She also mentions the adverse effect of negative publicity to us, the venue, and perhaps to the Shriners Hospital.
We strive to make our environment as healthy as possible. We must continue to abide by our pandemic restrictions and limited activities. Miss Covid is certainly making our lives challenging but remember, we are strong women and we will persevere.
Until we meet again,
Queen Holly
