[FM] "Business Usual" at NERFA this year !!

[DianneTank at aol.com]

Just a quick note to squelch all the rumors about guerilla and private 
showcases at NERFA.  The action that the Folk Alliance was forced to take regarding 
their policy with guerilla showcases has no effect. on NERFA.   Our situation 
is totally different. We keep a tight control on our guerilla and private 
showcases and make sure everyone participating is registered for the conference. 
We have already received  assurance from our attorney and from our insurance 
agent - that we will be covered and there is absolutely no reason we cannot 
continue  with the same policies and rules and regulations we have exercised since 
our inception.

For those who have not been to NERFA -  after the Formal and tricentric 
showcases, we have an area set aside for our private and guerilla showcases. We 
have a musical midway.  One very long hallway where every other room is hosting a 
guerilla showcase.  We also rent out the rooms used for workshops during the 
day to private parties in the evening.  

If you have specific questions regarding any of the above, or just need more 
information, please contact us at  NERFA at aol.com
