Did You Know...
7 FOOD TIPS
to get 2019 started off for a healthier YOU!
1. As much as possible, eat food in its "natural state." (Rather than processed and packaged with sugar, salt and/or flour.)
2. When eating something with a nutritional facts label, choose items with the fewest number of ingredients to eat less processed food.
3. When eating out, ask for extra vegetables with your meal. 4. In a reusable container, stock up on nuts for quick snacks that don't go bad.
5. Ease into mindful eating. Slow down and let your body signal when you've had just the right amount of food. 6. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Keep water with you wherever you go in a reusable bottle. If it helps you drink more, add herbs or fruit slices to add flavor. 7. Don't throw food away - start composting and grow your own!

I GOT CONNECTED THROUGH "CAN" AND YOU CAN, TOO!
|
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following was received from Tracy Smith, a Valley Center resident, who shared her personal thoughts and experiences regarding the CAN (Community Action Network) meetings sponsored by PVI. We hope you'll read her story and see what a great resource these monthly meetings are to our community!
I received a cheerful email from Brandon at Pauma/Valley Insurance inviting me to the Community Action Network, or CAN meeting. Having recently retired, I really wanted to get to know this community, so I decided to go. I attended the November meeting and arrived at 7:45 am. Walking down the stairs, I meet Brandon who was setting up tables and chairs. He was outgoing and cheerful and promised a good time with lots of information. In the back of the room were a couple of deputies and this giant of a man named Lt. Dave Something-or-other. (Schaller) The deputies, I'm happy to report, were normal size. All of them were outgoing, smiling and introducing themselves. This should be an interesting morning.
Brandon was right! What an informative, wonderful meeting! I sat next to a CAL Fire Chief, Nick Brown and a lovely goat farmer, Jane Kehr. And the meeting began. It was the day after the red flag fire warning had been called off and there was plenty of fire news. Joe Napier and Mike Shore, the Fire Chief and Fire Marshal, gave updates; Nick from CAL FIRE gave updates, the water district gave an update, the school district administrator gave an update, all personnel giving out information were direct, concise and helpful. But there was more. There was a real sense of caring, a sense of belonging to one another, a pride in the community. I relished it.

"SIXTY SECONDS OF SAFETY"
WITH VC FIRE CHIEF, JOE NAPIER
|
As we "went to print" our community was being hit with the beginnings of week-long rains and we were under a Flash Flood Watch issued by the National Weather Service. As usual, Valley Center Fire Chief, Joe Napier, was on top of the situation and chose "Swift Water" as the featured topic for this month's "Sixty Seconds of Safety" - our new video series.
In fact, it was raining, the wind was blowing and it was really chilly outside for the video shoot, and we appreciate Chief Napier's eagerness to get this important information out to our community.
To see and hear what Chief Napier has to share with our community to help all us stay safe, please click here or on his picture above.

"BEST YEAR YET" FOR TOYS FOR TOTS DONATIONS
|
It was PVI's pleasure to support the
Valley Center Chamber of Commerce's Toys for Tots campaign this year! In addition to being a collection center for toys, PVI also arranged for all the toys to be picked up in Valley Center by
Major
Roy Knight
, CAP (of Valley Center and pictured above with
Marian Pyle Walters
, Chamber Executive Director).
Major Knight delivered the toys to the Toys for Tots special event at Fallbrook Airpark on Saturday, December 15th.
It was reported this was the best year yet for donations, so thanks again, Valley Center, for your support!
(Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. The program was founded in 1947 by reservist Major Bill Hendricks.)

Although the sun was almost a no show at the Valley Center Chamber of Commerce's first "SunRiser" for 2019, members of the business community gathered outside the Chamber office on Friday, January 11th to kick off the New Year. The chilly weather failed to detract from the
warm and cozy
community spirit as attendees expressed excitement for the year ahead promoting and supporting local businesses.
PVI was pleased to sponsor the event, which also introduced the new Chamber Executive Board for 2019: Bob Hunsaker (Krueger Realty), President; Brandon Strausbaugh (PVI), Vice President (both pictured above); Kim Cucinella (Krueger Realty), Secretary; and Sam Beckett (SWI Financial Services), Treasurer.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS
(WE LOVE TO RECEIVE YOUR TESTIMONIALS & REFERRALS!)

"
I have been doing business with PVI for the last 15 years. They handle my personal, business and commercial insurance.
In the course of my mortgage business I often have the opportunity to recommend that my clients get a quote from PVI. At least once a month they save the day for my clients who weren't able to get affordable insurance from their current insurer. They are always fast, friendly and professional.
I can't say enough good things about everyone at PVI.
