Next NY InterNACHI Chapter meeting Tuesday November 25th, 2003

EVERYONE is cordially invited to the next meeting of the New York Chapter of the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) on Tuesday October 25th.  Based in the Hudson Valley of New York state, the chapter now has 44 members and is attracting more members from throughout its home state, as well as parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.  Members of InterNACHI, SPREI, ASHI, HICAG and NAHI attend.  This monthly meeting is the home inspection event of the Northeast.  New and veteran home inspectors are all welcome-you need not be a member of InterNACHI.  Anyone interested in home inspections can attend.  Dress casual if you like, as our meetings are informal and fun, the way they should be.  Spouses welcome.  Come hungry!

We have arranged for a commercial Health insurance broker to come and speak at our meeting about the constant battles for self-employed business owners lacking the ability to procure Health insurance. Frank owns his own business with his son and a few dedicated employees who are there to answer a phone when you have questions. He has about 35 - 40 years experience with writing policies for all sizes of business groups. I myself was in the same boat years ago as most Americans, first with no insurance and then with a bottom of the barrel insurance HMO that went bankrupt, risking coverage for treatment of a health problem I was going through at that same time. My doctor told me that he could no longer accept their coverage after that days visit. Talk about turning pale! Like a heaven sent gift, I met Frank a day later and he literally drove 35 miles to meet with me and help me get out from this rut. He gave me a few simple pieces of advice and I was able to get my choice of Premium insurers to cover me, even with a pre-existing condition. He will help to open your eyes and give you hope if you are uninsured.

I would like to stress that this meeting is open to all Home Inspectors, affiliated to any organization or not. I will personally invite the local Hudson Valley ASHI Chapter and NY Metro ASHI members via their secretaries. I feel this is an important topic that many of us seek information about, only to be dismayed.

There will be ample time to help any newcomers to the HI business with a question and answer period.

I am sorry to announce that we will no longer accept unannounced walk-ins. Reservations are mandatory. All attendees need to e-mail me at ttbi@mercurylink.net by Monday evening 9:00 p.m. Recently we have had a few reservations with no show. As of this month, you will be responsible for payment of dinner expense. This will be forwarded to the restaurant as they have prepared food based on reservations announced by us. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Hope to see you all there!!!
