More importantly—do you know if the state’s survivor option is truly the best choice for your family?

The Pension Shield Option helps public servants understand:
✔️ Their pension survivor choices
✔️ The true cost of the state option
✔️ Whether a private protection strategy could offer more flexibility, control, or legacy

This is education first—so you can make a confident decision for your retirement and your loved ones.

I had a great time, volunteering at Lutherhaven Ministries with fellow Rotary Club of Coeur d'Alene Rotarians on Sunday. I split nearly all of that kindling myself! Who says girls can’t get the job done?!?!

Giving back fills my cup… 🫶🏻

Still piling money into your 401k and padding the government’s pockets? Remember, they own 20-30% of your money and have the ability to say, “Hey, hard-working American, we’re dipping deeper into your pocket.”

I’m not saying a 401k doesn’t have its place in a portfolio, but I am saying that should NOT be your sole bucket of retirement income. Especially if you believe taxes are going up! All you’re doing is kicking the can down the road because sooner or later, the Tax Collector is coming.

So if you believe taxes are going up, wouldn’t you also agree it’s better to pay taxes on the seed rather than the harvest? When we’re all in a higher tax bracket???

It’s time to change our mindset, America. We’re not driving dad’s Oldsmobile. This is 2024. There is NO chance of taxes decreasing, so either you take control… Or do nothing and let the IRS dictate your retirement.

Hi Friends! It's that time a year again, the Rotary Rose Sale. Each year we fly roses straight from South America and sell them for $30 a dozen. Our profit is $22 per dozen. 💐❤️🧡💛🩷

This is one of Rotary's major fundraisers. All the money we raise goes back into our community.💐❤️🧡💛🩷

Colors are red, pink, yellow or orange, which is really more like a salmon or coral color and quite beautiful. 💐❤️🧡💛🩷

Deadline to order is Oct 16 and I will be delivering them personally on October 25. 💐❤️🧡💛🩷

Can we count you in for a dozen?💐❤️🧡💛🩷
