Snow Day Fun
February 4, 2021
It’s finally the best day of the year: a snow day!
What better way to spend this day off than to make paper snowflakes! You probably wish you could bring the real snow in, but these paper snowflakes will serve as a beautiful replacement. They are super easy to make and each one will be unique—just like real snowflakes! All you need is a piece of paper and scissors.
First start with a square piece of paper and fold it in half diagonally to make a triangle. Then fold that triangle in half to make another smaller triangle. With that smaller triangle, fold it into thirds, so that there are now two peaks sticking out of the bottom. Cut the two peaks off so that it is once again a triangle. After that, make small cuts in any shape to your liking!Then unfold the paper to reveal your snowflake. It is always a fun surprise to see how pretty it will be.
After you create your paper snowflakes, you may want to create some yummy snowflake cookies! This sugar cookie recipe will be really fun and delicious once they are cooked. Check out the recipe here.
As we move into the second quarter of another exciting year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our accomplishments and share some of the new initiatives we are implementing in the realms of sales, marketing and community engagement. Over the past year, GBU Life has reached significant milestones thanks to the dedication and hard work of our team and the trust and support of our members. Our sales department has exceeded targets, and we have expanded our reach to more communities than ever before. We have launched several successful marketing campaigns that have not only increased our visibility but have also strengthened our brand's presence in the industry. For this year, our focus will be educating potential new members on the importance of securing their financial futures through life insurance and annuity products while serving their communities as part of our great Society. Looking ahead, we are committed to enhancing our sales strategies to better serve you. We are introducing some tools for our agents to enhance our products. One new tool is our Defined Benefit Annuity program which combines the Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity (FIA) with a software tool that can help determine retirement savings needs and break them down into contributions over time to help you meet your retirement goals. Be sure to keep in touch with your GBU agent to review your plans and products to see how adding an FIA to your retirement planning can help boost your savings efforts
GBU has designated four Community Pillars - Wellness, Education, Charitable Giving and Hometown Hero Support - which are a concentrated list of causes that resonate with our values.
