Andrea Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I got the venue! I got the venue! I go on Wed at 7:30am to pay. It is Laguna Niguel Park go to www.ocparks.com and search for Laguna Niguel. It is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!! The walk is Sunday Nov 7, same weekend as the other walk The large picnic shelter holds 250 people. The ranger is making an excpetion and allowing low level ampliphying sound. The other location which sat 400 was soooooo hilly, I could barely walk to the area!! This has ample parking and close bathrooms and the park is great. I have one concern--INSURANCE. I didn't want to call around today b/c I am nervous for my husband's colonoscopy tomorrow and my mom's radiation oncologist consult tomorrow, so I will call Wed. If the difference in insurance between like a picnic and a walk is over $1000, I will just make it a Lung Cancer Rally or picnic or something. I am going to have a bounce house for kids to attract people and food so it will accomodate those who just want to get together adn those who want to walk. The only advantage of the walk is a walk could get more publicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elaine Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Andrea, I just want to thank you so much for the work you are doing. Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveGr Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Actually you may find that the insurance is quite low and very reasonable. At the golf outing last year, the insurance for the three Hole-In-One events only cost $150 and we were offering a car, a one week cruise, and a home entertainment center with a 57 inch TV. Talk to an independant insurance agent. PS: If it is reasonable, ask the insurance agent if he will donate the insurance, in return for an ad in your event program.

Andrea Posted March 30, 2004 Author Share Posted March 30, 2004 Thanks for the advice Dave! I need to call around. I was basing figures on what my mother in law told me. She is very active at Children's Hospital in LA and was on the board for awhile and she recalls an event where it cost thousands for insurance and it really made no sense to me, but immediately my mind went to Plan B options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 I see, I see, people want to come to my walk, but really you just want an excuse to come to California And who can blame you to escape winter. Heeheeheeheehee. You can visit Disneyland while you are here and do so many things. I vacationed in California my entire life, from age 13 on until I moved here in 1998 Denise--I am staring at your picture to see if I recognize you. Denise and I went to the same college, 1 year apart and lived in the same dorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
