Moose International - HELP DESK- 8/15/08
Property & Fire Insurance Reminder
All Lodges with a physical building must carry Property/Fire Insurance.
This is clearly stated in the "Insurance for Lodges, Service Centers,
Chapters, Legions & Associations--Programs and Procedures" booklet
(a/k/a the yellow booklet) that is provided to the Lodges annually. This
insurance is a requirement.
If your Lodge has a mortgage or a lease, it is almost certain that the
mortgage or lease has a clause requiring the Lodge to carry
Property/Fire Insurance. The failure to have this coverage would be a
breach of contract by the Lodge.
Further, although the Officers of a Lodge may feel the Lodge cannot
afford the coverage, the question to be asked is can you afford to
rebuild and re-equip your Lodge building if it should be lost due to a
fire or other covered hazard? The willful and wanton neglect of Lodge
Officers to obtain this coverage may result in personal liability to the
Officers should an actual loss occur.
