This week, our Ottawa Fraternal Chapter was honored to donate $1,000 through our Matching Funds Program to support the Putnam County Cancer Assistance Program.

A special thank you to Denny Marsh of Bad Dog Fit Club for hosting a 5K at the Car-E-It. The event raised more than $6,000, and we were proud to match those efforts with a $1,000 contribution.

The Putnam County Cancer Assistance Program provides valuable support to local residents undergoing cancer treatment. The program helps reimburse patients for mileage to treatments, tests, and doctor appointments related to their diagnosis, as well as out-of-pocket medication expenses.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support an organization that makes such a meaningful difference in the lives of Putnam County families.

Determination. Service. Community.

That's what comes to mind when we think of a pioneer.

You’re not alone. It’s one of the biggest misconceptions about life insurance.

The reality is life insurance serves different purposes depending on your stage of life and goals.

Sometimes it’s about helping protect loved ones.

Sometimes it’s about preparing for the future.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It comes down to what makes sense for you.

Not sure where to start with life insurance? Here are a few simple questions to consider:

• Who depends on your income?
• What financial goals are most important to you?
• Do you have a plan for the unexpected?
• How does coverage fit into your long-term strategy?

You don’t need all the answers right now, but asking the right questions is a great first step.

Let's start the conversation today.

In 1909, Modern Woodmen opened a tuberculosis sanatorium that served more than 12,000 members. Years later, we provided support to families affected by the polio epidemic.

Helping members through uncertain times has been part of who we are for generations.

If your child is entering high school, college may seem like a long way off. But now’s the time to prepare for future scholarship eligibility. Give me a call to learn more about Modern Woodmen’s scholarship competition for high school seniors.

Graduating high school seniors can compete for up to $10,000 to offset future education costs.
