Christmas in the Mountains Bicycle Giveaway

December 10, 2019

Interested in the Christmas in the Mountains Bicycle Giveaway?

Here’s some info we’re passing along from Richard Antenucci & Nora Voice.

  • The shop owner has collected funds from the community and was still short on the amount due to cover the number of bikes needed for the donations. Therefore, he took out funds from his own personal savings to cover the difference. He is still in need of additional funds to cover the remainder of helmets that are needed. They are needing approximately 25-30 of them. The cost of a helmet is around $20.
  • This event will be covered on KSEE 24 where everyone can enjoy I believe the average cost for a helmet is $20. I am hoping that maybe we can generate enough to possibly cover the remainder of that cost for them. This event will be covered on KSEE 24 and we can enjoy watching the kids receive this gift.

Policy Reminder: Rain Season

December 4, 2019

“I’m Singing in the Rain” is an old favorite musical lullaby. However, after getting soaking wet while dancing in the street can bring on the flu.

Commercial:

Please remember, The majority of Commercial Property Policies require “physical damage” to the building (i.e. roof) caused by a covered cause of loss allowing an opening for coverage to apply for interior rain damage. In other words, wind blows off the shingles to allow an opening for the rain to leak inside or a tree limb falls on the roof to cause an opening. Without the roof damage, rain leaks to the building interior is excluded.

If the roof just leaks from lack of maintenance or leaves clogged the roof drain, there is NO coverage. So please be prepared to warn your clients that the adjuster will due their due diligence by inspecting the roof.

Home:

The majority of the home policies take the opposite approach and afford coverage regardless for a sudden roof leak. They do not require storm damage to cause an opening. The Underwriters had more empathy that day, however please be cautious to imply coverage.

Warning:

Also be very cautious to recommend restoration companies to your clients without written back up that coverage is not authorized by D & D and must be approved by the Insurance Company.

D&D Project Operation: Christmas 2019 Update

December 4, 2019

“Season’s Greetings from all of us on the D & D Project Committee. 

It has been a very busy year for us and now we find ourselves preparing for the Christmas Holiday.  Once again we will be supporting the Children in the Pinedale Community with “Wants and Wishes”.  Our tree is up and each child has a tag with their name, age, size and likes hung on the tree. We have 60 names to choose from. Zenith Insurance is also doing the same. Many people ask what to get, the need is always clothes. The Parents fill out the Wish List and Clothes & Shoes are the need. The want is a toy, cologne or make-up that is listed. The ages range from newborn to 17 as we don’t just get for the Pinedale student, but for the other children in their household as well.  

**Clovis office let me know of the Age range and Gender and I can pull one for you**

  • A green basket with a yellow note pad and a pen are next to the tree. Please take the ornament and write down your name and your child’s name on the notepad. 
  • You have until Monday, December 16th at Noon to return your wrapped gifts. We will also be donating 20, $25 gift cards to Washington Union High School to disburse to their students chosen by the facility next week.  
  • Cash donations or items for our Boutique are always accepted and you can give your donation to any D & D Project member. Please make checks payable to The D&D Project. 
  • We will have our traditional Christmas 50/50 raffle and gift raffle right before our Christmas Luncheon on Friday, December 20th. Further information will be sent out regarding this event in the near future.
  • We thank you for supporting the D & D Project.  Each year with your support we are able to reach out and help more children.  You are the light in the window for many of these families.  You help to make a big difference in their lives!!
