Hello my fellow colleagues:

  NAIFA Fresno has a phenomenal membership meeting in February with over 90 attendees. I want to thank each and every one of you that took the time to listen to Brian Lee for you are why the workshop was a great success. As requested, this month's LifeWire includes "The Twelve Areas of Estate and Business Planning" that Mr. Lee has provided for your reference. Should you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

  On a side note, another thanks to our colleagues that have brought in guests, which has resulted in new members. Remember that we have strength in numbers, and new members are critical in the success of our association which in return, is significant in us being able to make a living in doing what we do. Aside from the information that you are provided as a member, advocacy by far can be viewed as the most important. If you would like to get a message out to a particular group, would you prefer to stand alone on the mountain top, hoping someone will not hear you, but listen? Or do you prefer to stand side by side with fellow agents on that mountain top making your message loud and clear. That is our lobbyists in Sacramento...they are there on your behalf! With that said, please continue to invite guests to our membership luncheons. On a personal note, that is how I became a member. My mentor invited me.

  Bring a guest and receive a complimentary sleeve of raffle tickets.

Take care and God bless.

Respectfully yours,

Genevieve Marie Hormel

2006-2007 NAIFA-Fresno President
