Testimonial:
"Thanks So
Much, Ron!"
When I found
out I had to change my insurance company, I was not looking forward
to it because I always get told the same thing because I'm young & I have several
medical issues and everyone always makes me feel like I'm an alien or
something. Ron is the first person that never made me feel like I was
crazy or different. He was very nice and made me feel 100% at ease. I
even had a problem with the insurance company & he got in contact
with them & got it taken care of right away.
Ron found the
right insurance company for me and he cared about what I needed &
worked for my health needs. He wasn't all about what would be best
for the "provider or insurance company" my needs, all the
way down to my budget, came first for him & that is what means a
lot to me.
I consider Ron
a friend and I would refer my family & friends to him in a heart
beat!
Thanks so much
Ron!

Ice Cream
Last week I
took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old
son asked if he could say grace.
As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good. God is
great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you
more if Mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And
Liberty and justice for all! Amen!"
Along with the laughter
from the other customers nearby I heard a woman remark,
"That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't
even know how to pray. Asking God for ice-cream! Why, I
never!"
Hearing this, my son burst into
tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at
me?"
As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific
job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman
approached the table. He winked at my son and said,
"I happen to know that God thought that was a great
prayer."
"Really?" my son asked.
"Cross my heart," the man replied.
Then in a theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman
whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never
asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul
sometimes."
Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the
meal. My son stared at his for a moment
and then did something I will remember the rest of my life. He
picked up his sundae and without a word, walked over and placed it in
front of the woman. With a big smile he told her,
"Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the
soul sometimes; and my soul is good already."

Dear
Ron,
We celebrate the "luck o' the Irish" this month.
And for good
reason. Where would we be without Irish
Americans? But when it comes to your life and health
and the lives of your family members, it is important that you not
leave it all up to "luck." Adequate
insurance keeps you from having to rely on luck when it comes to
your well-being.
What
is "adequate" insurance? It is different for each
person, and it often takes a professional to know if you are
unnecessarily putting your family at risk.
Please
consider calling me about your insurance needs. I have a
great deal of experience and the information you need to make the
best insurance decisions.
Sincerely,
Ron

Quick
trivia question: Which segment of America accounts for nearly 12%
of the population and has had a significant influence in shaping
our way of life? Need more hints?
This group of citizens produced eight signers of the
Declaration of Independence and a whopping 22 of our presidents.
Still stumped? Think of the March holiday, St. Patrick's
Day. Our Irish American friends are a particularly important part
of American heritage.
Irish
immigrants participated extensively in the American Revolution,
leading one British major general to testify that, "half the
rebel Continental Army were from Ireland." Politically active,
early Irish immigrants took personal responsibility to establish
American self rule and freedom from tyrrany.
Irish
work ethic came to the forefront with canal building, lumbering and
civil construction projects. In addition, thousands of hard-working
Irish immigrants became ranchers and farmers. Others got more
meager wages as hotel maids and textile workers. Despite starting
at the low end of the pay scale, by 1900 most recently-migrated
Irish workers were earning wages on a par with their more
established neighbors. By 1945, Irish immigrants were found in the
higher realms of the social heirarchy, thanks to the large number
who were completing college.
Other
contributions from this amazing culture include a large number of
police and fire department workers of Irish descent. Irish American
entertainment icons include: James Cagney, Bing Crosby, Walt
Disney, John Ford, Judy Garland, Grace Kelly, Spencer Tracy and
Gene Kelly, to name a few.
This
month, celebrate the contributions of your Irish neighbors. They
deserve it.

consumers to remember to include a colorful variety of fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and dairy on their plates
every day.
"The
American Dietetic Association is committed to improving the

science-based nutrition information to consumers in a way that's
easy to understand and apply to their everyday lives," said

focus people's attention on a universal theme that cuts through the
clutter of information and gets back to the principles of a
healthful diet."
