Our hearts are heavy after hearing of the loss of our beloved former colleague of 32 years, Karen Crane. Karen had a wealth of knowledge in commercial insurance and often “directed” many of us to find answers to coverage questions on our own (IYKYK). Karen retired at the end of 2015 and to this day we often speak her name and share stories. Our thoughts are with her family and friends! Rest in peace, Karen. ❤️

It looks like we had some holiday visitors over the weekend!

Thank you to everyone who came out to "insure" our downtown was festive and fun, whether you were participating in the "Downtown Elf on the Shelf Event", doing some holiday shopping at local businesses or just enjoying the magic and merrymaking before the Christmas parade.

We are proud to be a part of and servicing our community for the last 100 years and look forward doing it for 100 more. Cheers to everyone during this holiday season!

Our office is proud to not only be IN downtown Lynden, but PART of downtown Lynden!

During the fun and magic of the "Downtown Elf on the Shelf Event" from 11:00am to 5:00pm, stop by our office for a warm drink or little treat....and maybe find a little extra friend hiding somewhere!
