A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us at our Company Appreciation Dinner last week.
This event has been a cherished tradition for over 30 years for our employees and insurance carrier partners, and your presence made it all the more special.
To those who couldn’t make it, you were missed, but know that your contributions are equally valued and appreciated. Here’s to many more years of tradition and togetherness. We look forward to seeing everyone at the next one!
Please see the message below by Matt DeFendis — we hop to see you at the dinner on Thursday, June 13, 2024!
Good afternoon, everyone. By now all of you have received an invitation to the D&D Company Appreciation Dinner on June 13, 2024, at the D&D Ranch in Madera. For those who are new to the Company, this is an event we have been hosting for 38 years. It started because our father and Mr. DiBuduo wanted to have an event where we could thank those that worked at D&D and those that worked at the insurance companies that did business with us. It has grown tremendously over the years and has become very popular in our industry. As always, we have invited our carrier reps, wholesalers and any third- party vendor that works with the Company. We were fortunate to have over 500 people attend in 2022 and we are hoping to have even more people come this year.
Needless to say, we hope all of you will attend. Please mark your calendars and RSVP as soon as you can. This is a very important event for the Company and the only event this year in which we will have our entire Company come together at one time and in one place. WE NEED YOU. There will be more updates to follow as we get closer to the event.
Thanks everyone.
