Just do a search - you probably don't want to open that can of worms publicly. FWIW, your $350 is FAR FAR better spent elsewhere in my opinion.

She is right - spend the $350 on anything but PWNA

Ok, then what is a " round table " ?
I would also be interested in group insurence, if it would save me money.
Is there any thing like that ? If so isit worth it?

Nobody has come up with any group insurance, unfortunately. Round tables are get-togethers that started way back in the day. They've now grown to some serious events. If you find one that you can make, you'll never regret attending one. So much to learn and the networking is priceless. There's a few coming up over the next few months, they die off somewhat during the spring/summer/early fall, then they start back up again. Off the top of my head - Jan 11/12 Log home one in Ellijay, Georgia, Russ Spence has one in Alabama in February I think, there will be one in Detroit sometime in March (look for formal announcement next week)

Also, may as well announce the new site (Mark, Larry - it's not an advertisement! ) Contractor Events site will be up next week. This site is for folks to put their events online, see how to hold one, find one to go to. It's a free site for contractors. Hopefully we'll get some supporters and also be able to be reciprocal site supporters as well. It's not live yet but watch for it. www.contractorevents.com

Celeste,
thank you for that info! I will be paying attention for details.
If nobody hasput together anything on insurence yet , is this not the perfect place for a buntch of business owners (in the same business) to discusssuch things.
It seems to me that we all are people that take charge of life. If all we need is some one to start the discussion, then consider it started. we should alll get together and do something real. viva-la-revolution! Maybe I am just not that hip to the way it is. I do know how I would like it to be.

It's been tried for years. Truly if you consider the number of people in this industry, the internet percentage is very small. Add to that the fact that there is no single organization that can make enough contractors happy to get a large enough membership. Even at its best the **** was only up to about 500 members and still costs wasn't effective enough to get folks to buy insurance therefore, that percentage was even smaller.

You are talking about health insurance, right? That's the only one that could be a group thing. If the local networks begin taking off there is a future potential for small localized groups to possible get plans together that ultimately could become large enough to go nationwide but that's years away. You'd do just as well to explore your Home Builders Assn, or other orgs like BOMA or IWCA or even the Home Depot Business Toolbox - I think they have insurance for small businesses.
