Insurance

Let's use this area to have a threaded disscussion regarding insurance. The BLOG is a great way to have this disscussion so that everyone can see the discussion and therefore will know what's going on.


Yesterday I sent out an email to the staff seeing how many people would like to shop around for insurance. So far, i've had 45 emails with a big fat YES! Feel free to post any comments and concerns. You can also use this area to let me know you would like to be involved!!!
