Join us for an informative talk with JoAnne Murray, President of the Allan M. Block Insurance Agency, on the importance of flood, swimming pool, trampoline insurance and reviewing your annual policy to ensure you understand what it covers so you can prevent loss before it happens.

Mary T. Prenon, HGAR Director of Communications and author of "I'm Lazy and I Love to Eat" shares her inspirational yet humorous account of how she set out to lose 50 pounds in 1998 and finally achieved her goal 19 years later.

Prenon relates how she struggled for years with portion control, body image, and the allure of countless fad diets.

Sudden employment changes, the deaths of her father, godmother, and lifelong best friend, plus everyday stress caused frustrating weight regains, but through it all she never gave up. Prenon tells her story with laugh-out-loud relatability and heartbreaking honesty.

Raffle: $100 Amazon gift card courtesy of Allan M. Block Insurance Agency and a copy of Mary's book - "I'm Lazy and I Love To Eat".
