Snow Safety Tips
January 26, 2024
To Follow at Home, On the Road, and Outside!
At Home
- Have your heating system checked.
- Clean out your gutters.
- Insulate windows and water lines that run along exterior walls.
On the Road
- Pack essential items in your car in case of an emergency. These include a blanket, hats and gloves, a flashlight and batteries, a bag of sand or cat litter and a first-aid kit.
- Check your tires’ tread and replace them if needed before inclement weather.
- Make sure fluids (including the gas tank) are full.
Outside
- Layer up! Wear a layer or two of clothing underneath a hat, gloves, scarf and boots for the ultimate protection.
- Make sure you have the tools you need to tackle snow and ice, like a snow shovel and ice-melting products.
- After a winter storm, be aware of your surroundings and watch out for fallen branches, trees and ice. Take your time when shoveling.
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.
