NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

We are excited to share a preview of our newly released "We Believe" video that will reside on our new website that is currently in development. The idea behind the video is simply to share our firm's beliefs with you and our potential new clients. Click here to see us in action, and let us know what you think!
 
October is open enrollment month for many of you. Please take a minute to give careful consideration to the benefits that you are being offered. What is the best health insurance plan based on your family's use of health care? Do you want to fund a Health Savings Account? Do you need to increase or decrease the amount of group life insurance you carry? Do you have enough long term disability insurance? Have your benefits changed significantly? If your spouse is working, are you effectively coordinating benefits? Please call us if we can help you make suitable decisions.
 
Annual Medicare Open Enrollment begins October 15. We will be scheduling appointments to review your Medicare Part D Prescription Drug plan on November 8th - we recommend you do this every year. Please reach out to us if you would like to meet with Leslie!
