McLean Insurance

On Tuesday, September 25th, we had a great group of people stop by to visit the programs, help prepare food and they even left a very generous donation.

McLean Insurance Protection Team was having a conference for insurance brokers all over North America this week.  They decided to pop by and help with the food preparation.  Here's some great pictures!

They made a very generous donation of $1000.00, but when they came on the tour and saw the work we do for our clients, they DOUBLED their donation and made it $2000.00!

Thank you so much for stopping by, we loved having you!
