State Royalty: Reign Begins with Westfest
Life Insurance Awareness Month is an educational campaign designed to get consumers to take stock of their life insurance needs and protect their loved ones through proper life insurance planning. Three in 10 adult Americans have no life insurance at all, and most with coverage need more than they have. Life insurance provides financial security for families in the event of death by helping surviving family members to meet immediate, ongoing and future financial obligations and objectives. Surveys consistently indicate that the vast majority of Americans believe that life insurance is an essential part of a sound financial plan. However, the unfortunate reality today is that 68 million Americans say they lack adequate life insurance protection. An SPJST sales agent can help you determine how much life insurance you and your family need through a no-cost life insurance evaluation. For more information, call the SPJST Home Office (800) 727-7578. —SPJST— The 2007-2008 SPJST State Royalty
