The office:

Where has the year gone? Seriously - I just realized that it is July and that means that my son will be starting college in about a month. I'm NOT ready! NOT at all!

That means that I need to enjoy each moment that he will allow, while he is still at home. I've planned some time away this month - just to CELEBRATE Josh and his many accomplishments. I will cherish this time dearly, as I know that I won't be able to get it back. While I am out, please contact my Office Manager, Edward Dodge, as he will take good care of you.

With college move in day quickly approaching, Tez Adams State Farm Agency will be providing gift cards in exchange for renter's quotes (no purchase necessary). Just stop by the office, get a quote and get your local gift card.

Here are a few additional items to consider for July:

  • Homeowners Insurance: With summer fires, storms and increased outdoor activities, it's important to ensure your home is adequately protected. Review your policy to make sure you have sufficient coverage for any potential damages or liabilities.

  • Auto Insurance: If you're scheduling a road trip or vacation during July, it's essential to review your auto insurance policy. Confirm that your coverage is up to date and provides adequate protection for your vehicle and passengers.

  • Health Insurance: Keep in mind that July marks the midpoint of the year, making it a good time to review your health (supplemental health) insurance coverage. Consider any changes in your healthcare needs and evaluate if your current plan still meets your requirements.

  • Life Insurance: July is a good time to reassess your life insurance needs. Evaluate if your current coverage is sufficient for your family's financial well-being and consider any life changes that may require adjustments to your policy.

  • Travel Insurance: If you have any upcoming travel plans, consider looking into travel insurance. It can provide coverage for trip cancellations, medical emergencies abroad, lost luggage, and other unforeseen circumstances.

It's HOT, so remember to stay hydrated (including your pets) for an AWESOME SUMMER!

July events:

  • June 4th - Happy 4th of July

  • June 5th - Office closed - the team said they needed a break :-)

  • June 17th - June 29 Tez out of office, please contact Office Manager Edward Dodge for assistance
