Our loacal club contacted a attorney and were told that as board members they can not be suided unless there is gross negligence.
I ain't had no school housin, but the interpitation of gross could be a wide path.
Most clubs have errors and imisions (sp) to protect board members of any organization. I perhaps should even say ..HELP protect board members. Even then, a attorney is probably going to charge the indivdual at least a couple a dollars for their services that I would assume doesn't fall from the sky in Iowa.
I simply do not trust any single attorney's opinion--anyone else share that opinion? Seems a judge and jury make the final decision in most cases.
Our club has so many saftey violations to even the common sence issues. No ropes around belts, machinery running when no one is in the general area. And when it comes to food saftey, it is unreal. Board members running full bore on gators, and four wheelers to the point it makes ya squint your eyes, and cover your ears.
I'v seen tractors pulling bundle wagons, some hauling folks around on waggons and trailers with out that little 25 cent clip pin in the drawbar pin. Often the drivers never look back while they drive thru a croud of people like a snow plow pushing snow.
Our food insectors are very talented well educated folks that for the grand slam---insert a thermometer in to food that is packed in ice....talk about a important job, and alot of high tec equipment to make us all feel safe...One would think that the blue angles should do a fly over at the exact time they insert the thermometer.
They also insert the same thermometer in to food inside a roaster with out cleaning it off. The temperature dial setting on the roaster can even be a good guess as to the internal temperature. And if not, the roaster is doing its best to climb to that temperature after the cold or frozen food in placed in it.
They have not been on the grounds during any event in close to thirty years when the club was started.
As I ramble on, any doctors care to hire this attorney to ward off malpractice suites?

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
