Hi all,
I'm curious about this comment Sue Rosen made to Chris Weiler:
But, before you spend your caller's earnings on a
mic, please, please,
please sign up for caller's insurance through CDSS if you haven't already.
And may none of us ever need it!
I actually wasn't aware (until now) that such insurance existed, and I've
been calling for a while and have also been thinking about buying a cordless
mic. I'm looking at the CDSS website right now, at the note about this
coverage but am finding it somewhat confusing. I don't know whether Toronto
Country Dancers (TCD) has "group insurance" but I'll check that out. But
if
they do, does that mean that I would be covered, and would I only be covered
if I was calling specifically at the TCD hall ?? The second line in the
first paragraph says :
"...but if you only need to insure your caller and hall, consider this
option. The policy provides for general liability, bodily injury and
property damage in the combined amount of $2,000,000."
Does anyone know if this insurance covers me if I'm calling in other halls,
meaning if I'm on tour ? Does this even extend to callers living in Canada,
calling in and outside of the home country ? Does anyone know of a caller
that's been named in a lawsuit ? While I have insurance for my home and
car, I must admit that it's never occurred to me to have insurance for
calling. Should I be setting this up a.s.a.p ?? I have requested an
application from CDSS but would appreciate any info from callers out there.
Thanks,
Bev
