Is your local chapter or Rotary Club hosting an event with wine or liquor? Please read the following from Rotary International about the Liability Insurance:
| RISK MANAGEMENT |
| The U.S. Rotary Club & District Liability Insurance Program (“U.S. Club Program”) provides all U.S. Rotary clubs and districts and Rotaract clubs with commercial general liability insurance and directors & officers/employment practices liability insurance, subject to policy terms and conditions. You have received this email because you are an officer or officer-elect of your U.S. Rotary club. As summer is around the corner and Rotary clubs are planning events, Risk Management would like to highlight a few items. Please send this email to anyone in your Rotary club handling events or insurance. Liquor: The U.S. Club Program provides liquor liability insurance for bodily injury or property damage to a third party arising out of selling or serving alcoholic beverages. If a liquor license is required, your Rotary club must obtain the liquor license before your event in order to maintain liquor liability insurance. Apply early with your local government, as this allows time for review, as well as the possibility that your application could require revision. |
Your Rotary Club Officers should have received a copy of the full email, along with additional information about insurance.
How about in Canada? , Quebec especially ?
You would need to check with Rotary International regarding the policy in other countries.
