Drive-in laser shows for social distancing
This photo is from a drive-in laser show done by Emerald Owl Productions. In December 2020 alone, the company did three locations and a total of 64 shows. Owner Michael Meyers writes "Almost all sold out!!! They can't keep tickets for more than a few hours when they add a show."
More information on pandemic-related drive-in laser shows is here. Information on other ILDA Member events and news related to the pandemic is here.

ILDA health plans for U.S. Members
ILDA has now joined with the LIG Insurance Group to bring health care policies to our U.S. Members. This is an Association Health Program where LIG finds policies that meet your particular health care needs and desires (including extras such as dental and vision).
If you like your current health care insurance, that’s fine. But if you’d like to hear about alternatives that may save money and/or give increased coverage, you can now call 888-869-7142 or check out the the LIG ILDA Health Coverage page.
Sorry, the healthcare benefit is U.S. only because of U.S. laws. On the other hand, many of our ILDA-Member countries have health care systems with coverage that may be more comprehensive and/or more affordable than the U.S. employer-based system. And if any non-U.S. Members have information about similar association insurance programs in their countries, we would be glad to get details.
