For Starters Life Insurance AWARENESS MONTH SEPTEMBER 201 3 LIFE INSURANCE can do some pretty amazing things for people. It can buy loved ones time to grieve. It can pay off debts and loans, providing surviving family members with the chance to move on with a dean slate. It can keep families in their homes and pre-fund a child’s college education. It can keep a family business in the family. It can provide a stream of income for a family to live on for a period of time. Life insurance can do all of these wonderful things for your family.. .there's just one small catch. You need to own life insurance. There’s a growing crisis of too many Americans not having adequate life insurance protection. According to the industry research group LIMRA, 30 percent of U.S. households have no life insurance whatsoever. Today there are I I million fewer American households covered by life insurance compared with six years ago. Here’s the bottom line: A majority of families either have no life insurance or not enough, leaving them one accident or terminal illness away from a financial catastrophe for their loved ones. What if you were suddenly gone and your family had to manage on their own? When was the last time you did the math to make sure your loved ones would be OK financially? Have you checked with your employer to find out what kind of life insurance benefit you have through work and whether you have the option to increase your coverage? When was the last time you had your life insurance needs reviewed by an insurance professional? Each September, WPA joins leading insurance companies in supporting Life Insurance Awareness Month. We encourage you to think about your needs and the needs of your family. If you find that you have a need for coverage, we strongly urge you to act by contacting your local WPA agent or our Home Office toll-free at I -800-848-7366 to find an agent in your area. As the saying goes: life happens. When it does, there’s life insurance. Spreading the fraternal message Representing WPA at the Pennsylvania Fraternal Alliance’s Annual Legislative Reception in Harrisburg, Pa., were (l-r) WPA intern Ervin Simon, former National Director Charles S. Johns, Vice Chair of the Board William J. Bero, Vice Chair of the Board Nickolas M. Kotik, former National President E. E. (AI) Vargo and National Vice President-Fraternal Endre Csornán. They, along with representatives from many fraternal societies, met members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly to discuss matters of importance to the fraternal benefit system. Home Office meets challenge to aid homeless pets Recently, the WPA Home Office completed its second charitable "Challenge," which this time asked our employees to donate items for the Western PA Humane Society. Our employees answered the challenge by donating more than 900 items, including pet food, cleaning supplies, paper products and office supplies. Correction In our July 2013 issue, portions of the Branch News articles from Branch 18 Lincoln Park, Mich., and Branch 28 Youngstown, Ohio, were mistakenly repeated on separate pages. This resulted in information from both articles being accidentally deleted. The missing information was incorporated into the branch articles published in our August 2013 issue. We apologize for the error. 2 0 September 2013 ° William Penn Life
