<DIV>Hi everyone</DIV>

<DIV><A href="http://www.dewittstern.com/">www.dewittstern.com</A></DIV>
<DIV> Most cities can add an unstaffed park for no extra fee through their
joint insurance pool.</DIV>
<DIV>For best rates to insure skateparks contact</DIV>
<DIV>Kat Wong </DIV>
<DIV><A href="mailto:kwong@dewittstern.com">kwong@dewittstern.com</A></DIV>
<DIV>Less paperwork, better coverage. Remember , the more paperwork and rules
the more loopholes that the insurance company is creating so they can wiggle out
of a claim. That is one of the main reasons we are working with Dewitt Stern
now. Check them out for a quote.</DIV>
