FRATERNAL BENEFITS:  KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS INSURANCE

“Are you in good ____?” 

“Protect the IF in life.”

We all see the advertisements for these insurance companies, large, popular, well recognized by everyone.  These ads cost money, funds for which come the premiums paid by policy holders.

Our insurance company — KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS INSURANCE — advertises in more quiet ways.  Columbia Magazine and occasional articles/advertisements in Catholic diocesan publications constitute our promotional efforts.  Yet, our story is very compelling:  A++ rating from A.M. Best, AAA from Standard and Poor, Certification from the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association.  We reach these coveted rankings year after year, a long record of achievement in marketing, service and solid performance.

What this means is that you as a Member have access to quality products to protect your family today and in the future.  You owe it to yourself and your family to review your current coverage.  Remember the final act of love for your family is the check delivered to your widow.  You need to ensure that this check will enable her and your children to continue to live the life you have worked all these years to provide.  You alone shoulder this responsibility.

Call me at 240-678-6680 for a free review of your current policies — from any company.  This review may lead to greater peace of mind — a great benefit of your membership in our Order.
