Last year, we were granted an insurance waiver for the Old Naples Waterfront Association, a non - profit group that puts on the Stone Crab Festival. As this is a non - profit organization, there is limited funding available for insurance coverage and this requirement was fulfilled last year by requesting insurance certificates from each participating restaurant participant. Attached are the insurance certificates from participating venues. The Waterfront Association has no property, the event is all held at the restaurants. We respectfully request a waiver of insurance for the Old Naples Waterfront Association based on the insurance coverage provided by the participating festival location venues.
