Martin Luther King Jr. Day – January 16
|
Did you know that MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service? The National Day of Service was established to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. During the last quarter-century, the MLK Day of Service has grown, and its impact increased as more Americans embraced the idea that citizenship involves taking an active role in improving communities. Dr. King’s example is our call to action.

Important Insurance Reminders

Post Holiday Insurance Updates
If you have made any major purchases or received any high-value gifts over the holidays, make sure your insurance coverage reflects those changes. Contact the office today to make sure any new jewelry, expensive artwork, big-ticket electronics or any other high-value items are covered under your existing coverage or to add protection for those
items.
Uber/Lyft/Airbnb/Vrbo
While partnering with Uber, Lyft, Airbnb and Vrbo is a great way supplement your income, it is important you have the right insurance to ensure your vehicles and property are fully covered. Many insurance policies exclude coverage when engaged in these activities unless the policy is properly endorsed. If you drive for Uber, Lyft or any other delivery service or rent your home or even a room on Airbnb or Vrbo, please contact the office, so we can make sure you have coverage in place.
