Fellow Chamber Members...
As always, this edition of The Messenger
is packed with useful information and late-breaking community
news.
Peruse your copy of our “e-Newsletter”
to learn more about the McCarroll family and their Middle
Country landmark, the Good Steer Restaurant, or to collect
details about this month’s May 15 general membership meeting
which will feature remarks by former Middle Country Chamber of
Commerce (MCCC) president Kevin McCormack, the new executive
director of the Middle Country Coalition for Smart Growth. In
addition, Jeff Freund, the owner of an Allstate insurance agency
in East Setauket, has made it easier to put your financial house
in order by compiling a list of ten items that should be in
everybody’s personal financial plan.
The value of this newsletter is limited
only by what chamber members are willing to contribute to it
each month. Just as our luncheon meetings and evening networking
events provide us with opportunities to interact directly, The
Messenger offers another means to reach the people you want to
do business with in Centereach, Selden, or Lake Grove.
Dispatch news of your firm’s
accomplishments, recent hires, or special events by e-mail to
newsletter@MiddleCountryChamber.com each month. While space
limitations make it impossible to guarantee that every
announcement will be published, those that are used will be seen
by some of our area’s most important business leaders; They just
may be an ideal prospect group for the goods or the services
your company sells.
It’s clear to all of us on the
Newsletter Committee that The Messenger is being read, and used,
so send your press release today. The deadline for submitting
content for each upcoming e-Newsletter is the first of the month
- for example, the deadline for submitting content for June’s
edition is Friday, June 1st.
Sincerely,
Your Chamber Newsletter Committee

Jeff Freund, owner of Allstate Insurance Agency in
East Setauket was April’s Member of the Month. Jeff gave an
informational and invigorating presentation to chamber members reminding
everyone to plan for the future and protect the things that are
important. Here is a brief summary of what Jeff covered.The
Top 10 Financial Planning Items for Every Person to Review
By Jeff Freund
- Life Insurance
a. Do you have the proper amount? (Have you used a
“mathematical” calculation)
b. Is it Affordable?
- Disability Insurance... Do you have
any?... Have you taken advantage of group benefits at work (during
your working years, your ability to earn income is your most
valuable asset)
- Long Term Care Insurance (as you
get older, you need to think about protecting your assets)
- Will – Do you have one, and has it
been updated?
- Investing (the most important
points to consider)
a. Start (“pay yourself first”)
b. Be consistent
c. Proper allocation (make sure your investments are in alignment
with your tolerance for risk, your age, and proximity to retirement)
- Homeowners Insurance
a. Dwelling coverage...make certain you’re coverage is sufficient to
replace your house in the event of a total loss
b. Update your deductible (low enough for you to cover in the event
of a loss…high enough for maximum savings)
- Auto Insurance
a. Your liability limit should be updated, adequate
b. Uninsured/underinsured motorist should be the same as your bodily
injury limit
c. Review coverage such as rental reimbursement, towing, and
accident forgiveness before you have a claim
- Flood Insurance
a. For most Long Islanders, very inexpensive, and NOT covered under
your homeowners policy
- Personal Umbrella
a. Excess liability coverage (typically “inexpensive” coverage
dollar for dollar)
- Agent/Broker/Advisor... Who do you
call when you have a question or an issue. Make certain you can
expect the maximum effort when you need it the most.

information by calling Jeff at 689-3100.
