Getting your message out has never been easier. 
 
The message you hear from me revolves around making sure your insurance coverages are adequately protecting you; keeping your premiums as competitive as possible, and giving you strategies to manage your risk.  For the past three years, you've been getting that via this e-newsletter.  Now, you have more avenues!
 
Last month, you may have seen a change in blog format and my goal is to be more consistent with my posting.  Every newsletter, you will get highlights of the previous month's best posts.  You will now be kept more current on breaking industry news, strategies, and concepts that you need to know now.  The best way to make sure you are current is to add me to your RSS Feeder.  That way, you will be kept updated on issues that you should be aware of that will save you time, money, and frustration.
 
A couple of weeks ago, you received an e-mail announcing my new video series on You Tube titled, The Bull Stops Here.  If you're like me, you prefer video over audio and written communications.  I guess I grew up watching too much television!  These videos will be less than 5 minutes long and be posted on the You Tube channel and the blog every 2 weeks.  As with the blog, you can subscribe for FREE to my You Tube channel.  Just click on the link and subscribe.  You will get an e-mail every time I post a new video.
 
So why do I go to such great lengths to explain all of this?  Well, you know that change is hard and unless I consistently beat it into everyone's head about the changes, you may forget.  Bottom line, you will get excellent and current information and resources to manage your business and personal insurances.  Your company and your family assets are at stake.  make sure you keep up with what is critical to keeping you protected.
 
This newsletter will serve as a reminder and repository for all my blogs and videos.  Your comments are always welcome and invited.

Puget Sound Reflections
 

The Weedin family has a new addition.  That's right - a bouncing, energetic, and sweet new dog.  Captain Jack is a Jack Russell terrier we adopted from the Kitsap Humane Society last week.

 
Talk about a bundle of energy!  Our "old" dog Charlie doesn't know what hit his world.  Luckily, they get along well...most of the time. 
 
For those of you who know Jack Russell's, you know there is much work and training involved.  Since Captain Jack was a stray, we have no real knowledge of what his "house manners' are.  He's not too bad, but I think he was mostly an outside dog.  He's making a nice transition to mostly inside...with a little guidance.
 
Change is always a challenging thing for a business or a family.  We are excited about this change for our family.
