Hot Off the Presses
Marching Into March
 Here Are Some Great Ways to Get March Started Off Right!
February was a month of roller coaster weather. We had wild winds, frigid temperatures, a record breaking blizzard and a few warmish days thrown in. March starts on Friday. I for one am ready for a new beginning. March is full of days to celebrate. Daylight Savings Time is on the 10th. St. Patrick's Day on the 17th (our parade guide is coming soon). Vernal Equinox better known as the first day of Spring on the 20th. Passover starts on the 25th. Good Friday is the 29th and Easter is on the 31st. Here's to hoping that March goes out like a lamb!

 Senior Healthcare Benefits Group Can Help You Prepare
How to prepare if you are diagnosed with Cancer
Does your current insurance coverage allow you the freedom to choose how you treat your illness? Traditional health insurance plans may not offer you the freedom to pursue nontraditional or controversial Cancer treatments…or the choice not to seek treatment at all. A Cash Benefit Cancer Policy can help. What is it? A Cash Benefit Cancer Policy is a one-time benefit supplemental policy for the first-time diagnosis of cancer only. Choose a cash benefit amount up to $50k to be used in whatever manner you prefer. You can use it for any type of medical treatment, lost wages, mortgage payments, a vacation, or anything you’d like!
To find out more about a Cash Benefit Cancer Policy, please visit their website, or call 631-393-5019.
