March is full of fascinating moments that pushed boundaries, broke barriers, and even left the solar system. Here are a few standout historical milestones we’re reflecting on this month:

🚀 March 2, 1972 - NASA launched “Pioneer 10,” the first spacecraft to travel beyond the asteroid belt and send back close-up images of Jupiter. It eventually became the first manmade object to leave the solar system.

🪥 March 14, 1833 - Lucy Hobbs, the first woman to become a licensed dentist in the U.S., was born. A true trailblazer, she used her platform to advocate for women’s rights and left a legacy that opened doors for future generations.

✏️ March 30, 1858 - H***n L. Lipman patented the first pencil with an attached eraser. Simple, yet revolutionary, this tiny invention changed how we learn, create, and take notes to this day.

With spring almost here, summer will arrive before you know it! And with the arrival of summer comes a season of travel, kids out of school, and general life busyness.

Given this, the spring season is the perfect time to ensure your insurance coverage still fits your life.

Here is why a portfolio review matters:

🌸 Keeps your coverage current as life changes.
🌸 Helps us identify gaps or overlaps in your policies.
🌸 May help you find cost savings or new discounts.
🌸 Gives you peace of mind ahead of major travel and periods away from home.

Don’t wait until the rush of summer hits. Schedule your annual review now to make sure you’re protected for whatever’s ahead.
