Winter Family Fun

Timothy Rodman • January 25, 2024

With the cold winter months, it’s easy to want to stay in. But there is still a fun world, ready to explore, even when the temperatures are low. Here are some ways you can break out of the winter funk and provide a family experience that’s worthy of some good times.

TRIP TO THE MUSEUM

Museums provide a fun, warm day out, with exhibits and activities available year-round. Plus, as a member of GBU, you have access to discounted tickets and buy one, get one offers for participating museums near you, thanks to VIP Perks! by Entertainment®.

“FUN” CENTERS

With VIP Perks! by Entertainment, you can treat the whole family to local “fun” centers this winter season. Find dozens of things to do, games to play, obstacles to climb–all in heated indoor comfort (and with deals like “buy one ticket, get one ticket for free”)!

WINTER MOVEMENT

Though ice skating is an activity that’s enjoyed all year round, there’s something magical about it during the winter months. Especially when the skating rinks are located OUTSIDE! Through VIP Perks! by Entertainment, you will find deals for local ice-skating spots–like buy one, get one free–that are sure to get the family moving!

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
