Here is another great offer available from TechSoup that won't last.

While Supplies Last: A Special Donation from Symantec

Starting this month, Symantec will offer Norton Internet
Security 2005 retail versions on TechSoup Stock for a low
administrative fee.

Unlike other products available through TechSoup's Symantec
Donation Program, retail versions of this all-in-one security
system include access to Symantec customer service and discounts
on future upgrades.

Moreover, organizations that have reached their quantity limits
on the regular Symantec Donation Program are still eligible for
this special offer -- and can request as many copies of Norton
Internet Security 2005 as they wish without affecting their
limits.

Place your order while supplies last.

Important New Exemption to the New Jersey Charitable Immunity Act (NJCIA)
Many nonprofits depend on the NJCIA to provide immunity from a wide variety of potential legal problems. However, an important new protection for victims has been signed into law. This new provision should cause nonprofits to take a look at their Human Resources policies – or lack thereof – and take preventive action.

On January 5, 2006 Acting Governor Codey signed into law revisions to the New Jersey Charitable Immunity Act. Effective on that date, the revised Act no longer applies to lawsuits alleging the negligent hiring, supervision or retention of an “employee, agent or servant” by a charity, resulting in a sexual offense against a person under the age of 18 years. A retroactivity provision allows plaintiffs with suits currently in the judicial system, including those on appeal, to proceed without the charitable immunity defense being available to non-profit defendants.
