 Message From the President
S. Roger Dominey, CLU, CFP�, ChFC
We hope you had a great summer! Autumn is officially upon us. Our kids are back in school, football fills our weekends, and before long, Christmas decorations will be arriving in the stores. We have a dynamic group of speakers lined up for our upcoming luncheons. We are starting the autumn with our Annual Kickoff Membership Luncheon on Wednesday, September 25th. Sheriff John Rutherford will be presenting, "The Future of Crime and Safety in Jacksonville." He will discuss budget and pension concerns and how it affects you, the citizens of Jacksonville. In other news, Mayor Alvin Brown has proclaimed September as Life Insurance Awareness Month. The website, www.lifehappens.org, is a great resource for information regarding the various insurance products including life, disability, long-term care, health, annuities, and business insurance. I would encourage you to give it a look. See you on the 25th at the University Club! Regards, Roger |

September 2013 is Life Insurance
Awareness Month in Jacksonville! |
 In an effort to encourage citizens to learn more about life insurance and its benefits, Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown has proclaimed September 2013 as Life Insurance Awareness Month.
CLICK HERE FOR A PDF OF MAYOR BROWN'S PROCLAMATION!
The proclamation coincides with the LIFE Foundation's annual public awareness campaign. There's a growing crisis of too many Americans not having adequate life insurance protection. According to the industry research group LIMRA, 30 percent of US households have no life insurance whatsoever. Today there are 11 million fewer American households covered by life insurance compared with six years ago. A majority of families either have no life insurance or not enough, leaving them one accident or terminal illness away from a financial catastrophe for their loved ones.
 Serving as LIAM spokesperson this year is former NFL MVP quarterback Boomer Esiason, who will be sharing his story as part of Life Insurance Awareness Month this September.
Boomer lost his mother when he was just seven years old, an experience that shaped who he is today, both personally and professionally.
For more information about Life Insurance Awareness Month including a Producer's Toolkit to help you include LIAM in your marketing plan, check out LIFE's website by clicking HERE.
