Happy March!

Thank you to all that joined us for the February 25^th lunch meeting with Mark Lanterman. We had over 30 people on the Zoom call! We are dedicated to providing these opportunities to our membership so we can stay connected.

In other news, March is Ethics Awareness Month! We have another opportunity for virtual learning this month. Our Chapter has been invited by the Richmond, Virginia Chapter to attend their free ethics meeting on March 18. See the details below. In addition, take a crack at the crossword puzzle we have available that focuses on the CPCU canons of ethics. Completing the puzzle enters your name into a drawing for a $25 gift card. We are committed to keeping ethics at the forefront so stay tuned throughout the year for additional opportunities for engagement on this topic.

Always feel free to reach out to me at jommen@secura.net!

VOLUTEERS WANTED – SAVE THE DATE!

03/10/21

Did you know April 18-24 is National Volunteer Week?!

The MN CPCU Chapter is calling out to all volunteers! What do you like to do for service to others when you volunteer?

Thanks to the pandemic, many of us have not been able to get together with one another and volunteer the way we used to. However, there are so many great and safe ways to still volunteer your time and energy to important causes.

Here’s a list of just a few volunteer ideas:

Donate Blood or Plasma.
Contact a homeless shelter and see if they could use any new supplies/hygiene products.
Send a 'Thinking of You' card to an elderly relative/or pick up the phone and call them.
Pick up the order of the person behind you in line at the coffee shop.
Purchase a prepackaged food donation bag at your local grocery store to give to your local food shelf.

Let’s rally together and celebrate National Volunteer Week by taking time to volunteer sometime that week. Then, share with MN CPCU either your own report or a photo showing what you did. Email any submissions to ruth.ahrens@sfmic.com by May 1^st for entry in the May Chaptergram where we will highlight all of our volunteers!
