A baby’s arrival should be filled with joy, but sometimes uncertainty follows.

As a Modern Woodmen member, you may have access to our Newborn Life Insurance Benefit. It’s designed to give families:
· Financial support in tough moments.
· A path to lifelong protection for your child.

Every parent deserves peace of mind. If you’re expecting or you just welcomed a baby, let’s talk.

What does it mean to put fraternalism into action?

It means putting people first – supporting families, giving back and creating a lasting impact in our communities. When we come together, we do more than protect the future – we strengthen it.

Looking to have fun while saving money this summer? Here are five ideas to do with the littles in your life!

1. Backyard scavenger hunt: Create a simple list (flowers, bugs, rocks) and let kids explore.
2. Picnic at a park: Pack snacks from home and make it an outing.
3. Library programs: Participate in free summer reading challenges and events.
4. Sidewalk chalk art contest: Encourage kids to decorate the driveway or sidewalk.
5. Volunteer together: Pick up litter in a park or choose another simple activity.

You’ve probably heard it before: build an emergency budget. But why does it matter?

Think of it as your rainy day fund – the cushion you fall back on when life doesn’t go as planned.

A good rule of thumb? Save enough to cover 3–6 months of essential living expenses to help when surprises happen.

What’s the last thing your emergency budget helped cover? Share below!

What happens to your kids if BOTH parents are gone?

This is one of the hardest conversations I have with families -- and one of the most important. That's why I share options that go beyond life insurance.

When you become a Modern Woodmen member with a life insurance or annuity contract, you'll have access to the Orphan Support Benefit. This program provides financial support for the care and education of qualifying children who lose both parents.

Contact me to learn more.

Modern Woodmen supports qualifying children who lose both parents by providing a monthly allowance to the child’s guardian. This member program includes an education grant.

Last month we held our 45th National Convention in Orlando, Florida.

Nearly 200 member delegates came together to lead, serve and shape our future. Together, they:
· Reviewed our bylaws and reflected on our financial and fraternal progress from 2022–2026.
· Elected our board of directors and officers to guide us in the years ahead.
· Gave back to the Orlando community by raising funds and packing essential bags for Miles To Go, supporting individuals experiencing homelessness.

The event was a meaningful reminder of the strength of our mission and the impact we can make together.
